I second that, John! When you go to class take what interests you and 
concentrate on the task in hand. Didn't our parents teach us, "study
when you study, play when you play and never mix things"?

I like learning languages and already speak 5. I'm currently learning French
on my continued quest for more. Most of them are Women. Oh! Don't jump-in folks!
They all seemed to very  dedicated in learning. When the class began there were
13/14 students and by the end of the semester there were only 6 and 2 are  guys.
I wondered why and now I know. ;)
