When you wake up at 6 am (with the alarm clock) to study languages before to go to work,
then one day you're too much tired and you fall asleep... and you dream about studying
languages :D :D :D
Guilty :P

And I thought I was the only one. At one point I was considering 5:30 but then decided
that was taking it too far. Sometimes sleep has to come first.

When you rejoice upon finding your old papers with language learning material you had completely forgotten under lots of more recent ones.

When the thing that gets you out of a really bad mood (one of those "my life has no meaning, it's just a bad joke and I hate most parts of it" induced mostly by studying medicine) is entering a bookshop and buying a Japanese course for half the original price. It doesn't matter I'm unlikely to have time for it before 2016. And the language themed conversation with a shop assistant was fun as well. :-)

O_O The same thing happened to me today! I was in quite a "divine" mood, and
passed through W H Smith's. Of course I went for the language section "just in case" :D
they have something I might be interested in, then I stumbled upon this Spanish course
reduced from £22 to £5. I don't really know when I'm going to have time for it at all,
given that I can barely wait to undertake my 2014 "resolutions" :D, yet I simply GOT to
have it.

... when you are going to the other side of the world (China) soon and the only thing you
think about is "will I be able to improve as much as I want in Mandarin?" and don't
really mind the fact that you don't even understand what you future company does

When your partner wants to visit Italy and you think, "great, I'll learn Italian".
