...When you sleep-talk in another language...
...you literally tear your hair out when you can't remember a word in another language for the song you are writing...

2.You translate english songs into the language you are learning.
3.You offer to pay to do others foreign language home work.
4.You beg to see a foreign language textbook of a students a level or two higher than you.
5.You suck up in the language to that language teacher.

You know you've been in Latin AP (Advanced Placement = College level) too long when:

1. You don't know what you'd do without footnotes
2. You no longer use the sound 'vuh'
3. 'Gallia est omnia divisa in partes tres...' is your IM away Message.
4. You sleep with your copy of The Aeneid under your pillow
5. You can count the number of people in your class on your fingers without using your toes
6. You know more words for 'water' or 'sea' than verbs.
7. The choir director yells at your for pronouncing Church Latin 'properly'.
8. It's now about 'winning' anymore, it's about beating last year's score (Medusa Mythology exam, National Latin Exam, Certamen...)
9. At the end of a sentence verbs go.

1, 2, 3, 5, 6 (though a little exaggerated), 7, 8 and 9. guilty of I am.
