It feels good, but I've never enjoyed it. One more semester after this before I get my first Associate's Degree. Six years at a two-year college with no degree thus far is... kinda lame. Oh well. Baby steps.

The important thing is that you've kept with it and didn't give it up. A formal tertiary education is useful who cares how long it takes? all the power to you mate *hugs*
First I studied sign language for 2 semesters at AVC, when I moved to OC I took 2 years of Mandarin, and a semester of Japanese (but that was just for fun).
How's your Mandarin? I was thinking about studying that sometime in the future. I think French is next up once I complete my Russian curriculum though.
It got too hard in the 3rd semester, I couldn't learn the new stuff and also retain the stuff from the first 2 semesters. I do remember some, and I have my books if I ever want to refresh myself. I love that I learned how to write it, and going to China was the greatest adventure of my life. If you can learn Russian you can learn anything, Mandarin would be good since China is enormous and powerful.
If I wanted to be purely practical, Mandarin is an obvious choice, but so is Arabic. That language is exploding, and is projected to be much bigger later on.
I need French for the ladies though. That's practicality right?
according to some unverified website I just Googled, there are 5 times as many Mandarin speakers as Arabic...and ladies love Mandarin! Those four sexy tones, mm-hmm.
I fell you man, I've majored in four different things since I got out of high school. But we all do what we gotta do. F.Y.I. Steven Spielberg got his first bachelors degree back in 2002...
