When you've been telling your friends how excited you are for 2011 for over a month, and when they ask why you say because of your new study strategy that will be implemented. They just shake their heads in confusion and walk away.

Wait, but I thought everybody gets excited about studying...don't they?

When your mobile broadband arrives in the post, and you spend more time looking at the flyer for discount international calls included in the box (you might may have seen the posters or ads around, e.g. wow, strewth, świetnie, अच्छा है, etc.) than reading the instruction manual.

When you really wanted Russia to win the 2018 World Cup bid but deep inside it kind of frustrates you because it interferes with your language learning long-term plans! (I was supposed to start Russian by 2018, now I shall start earlier... sorry Dutch :/ )

When the first thing you do whilst checking out the new iPad at a local store is to make sure you can log on to this forum (oh blast...I forgot to check if the "Reviewing the Kanji" site and language blogs work ok too! *next time*).

When you add Russian to your list because Russia won the 2018 World Cup bid. Or would
that make me a football nerd?
