I should not be allowed out into the world without proper supervision when bored. It leads me to do things like sign up for classes five days a week to keep fresh on the languages I'm already good with (French, German, Russian), gain more facility with the one I only had a half-assed semester of and am really bad at (Spanish), and pick up a fifth (Arabic) just because, what the hell, new alphabet. It's becoming clearer that I need to give serious thought to going back to school, since WOW.
Technically, we've both had one day of Arabic lessons already. How could you not remember?
