I did briefly start learning Esperanto years ago, but I don't think I'd find enough people to speak with, so I gave it up. It's an interesting language to study though, for sure.
I haven't gotten to speak it with anybody so far, but this is unsurprising, as I don't really talk to many people at all regularly.
On the Internet, however, lernu! is pretty active, and so is the channel #esperanto (perhaps it begins with two hashes; I can't recall) in freenode (actually, the whole network is pretty interesting for all kinds of geeky pursuits). I've read something about some Esperanto presence in Duolingo and Lang8, but haven't checked it out yet.

It seems you are very interested in the theory of languages in general. A career as a linguist would be really enjoyable, at least to me.
I agree, but I think it's way too late for that. I like science in general, because it's so refreshing to seek the truth, instead of looking for clever new ways to conceal it, even from yourself, like most human interaction seems to be about
However, I'm going to look for any snowball's chance in hell I might still have of ever becoming a scientist in physics.

In physics was meant as where I'm going to look for any snowball's chance in hell to become a scientist. I guess it can be read as showing I don't know the word physicist

You seem to be very intelligent, and I think it would be a shame to waste it. You could be very successful, I think, in whatever you decided to do.
I feel it's too late for me to get schooling in some things only because I can't handle taking many classes at once. It would take me forever to complete a degree in those disciplines.
I would have liked to become a linguist, anthropologist, biologist, or a doctor (except I'm not good with handing "icky" things, so maybe not), but I know that at this point I don't have the ability to deal with schooling and deadlines. Not ruling it out for the future, though. I'm going to work on my terrible executive functioning in the very near future.
