Well I dropped out of Russian this morning. I found my language limit by exceeding it. I can pick up Latin/Romance languages pretty well but the structure of both the Russian classes I've tried to take doesn't lend itself to my learning.
It was pretty humbling to become aware of something I can't do as normally I can eventually be pretty successful at most things I try with effort and intelligence. I know now that Russian is not one of them, at least formally taught.
I'll still continue personal study of it, hopefully getting to tourist level of proficiency. I already speak English and Spanish. I know words and phrases and basics of Japanese and Arabic. I guess if I knew which country I was moving to in 2 years I could focus better as well.....
Anyways, the point of this post was to let you know I did not go to bed happy last night, due to the slap in the face of my intellectual limits.
