Russian vs ASL

Hello, EP. Omfg, so I have been pondering my predicament for like a full month before I remembered that you guys exists.
So, I don't know whether to take Russian or ASL in the coming semester. Both have their ups and downs.
Russian will build a bridge into learning other slavic languages and languages that use the Cryllic script. It's also pretty cool.
ASL is invaluable in engaging with people that are death and challenged.

What other cons and pros can you guys think off?
