...when you are in your 30s yet you don't find it particularly strange that you spent a good bit of time browsing the "for kids" version of Yahoo Korea (http://kr.kids.yahoo.com) yesterday.

... when the highlight of your day was that you chatted a bit about Finnish with your Anatomy teacher after she wrote the comment, "Isn't Finnish supposed to be a really hard language with like 13 cases?" to your "I will study from my Finnish grammar book during my three day weekend." response. You correct her that there's actually 15 cases. You're happy there's someone who actually cares about this tidbit of information.

(Maybe because she's from England and can actually point out Finland on a map. For most Americans who aren't into foreign languages Europe is just one big land mass. :P)

When you spend many hours reading your dictionary, to find out how many words you know in your target language.

when you multi-task writing a report at your desk in work with learning vocabulary and write a sentence in Vietnamese on the report by mistake

... when you write a mail in Russian while listening to Turkish and practicing Chinese characters and still feel
anxious over not spending more time on language learning.
