I should have just audited a few courses instead of taking on the responsibility of completing another degree. Which isn't to say that I don't enjoy it - I do, enormously. I just need a break, even a few months would suffice. What I would really like is to have more free time - I'd really love to delve into Sanskrit, Old English and Mythology.
Kudos for all that hard work!

I'm sure you'll make it up to them!

Thanks for that link. I'm not only a complete novice, but someone to whom foreign languages do not come easily.
