Missing English and Samuel Clemens

Spring semester ended a month ago, and I'm REALLY going stir crazy. The stimulation created while discussing books with like-minded individuals is a high that cannot be matched! I've had to take a break from English classes this summer - BEGINNING SPANISH! Can't wait until fall semester, when I reconnect with two great professors, Dan Williams and Alex Lemon. I've already purchased my book's for Prof. Lemon's course - all nonfiction. I can't wait until this summer is over. Any suggestions on how to learn two semesters of Spanish in eight weeks?
