Something else to decide...

Well, here's my latest decision to make: We are going to start the academic program of our language school in April (the program we're in now is a short term conversation focused program to get you functional in the country). The academic program is definitely more rigorous and long term; it can even be more hours during the day at different times. I have to decide whether or not I want to join this academic program, or on the other hand, take private tutoring three times a week and stay home with Sterling the other two days. I feel like there are positives and negatives to both sides of this decision.
Positives of doing academic program:
1. I will learn Japanese more thoroughly and more quickly
2. Sterling will get to stay in the daycare and also learn more Japanese
3. In the future ministry here I would be fully capable to communicate
Negatives of doing it:
1. I will have to leave Sterling in the daycare all day every day
2. There will be times when he will be there even longer than the 6 hours he's there now
3. I will learn more slowly and potentially be less fluent
4. Maybe I could be getting the best of both worlds- learning and being with Sterling, if I didn't do the academic program.

Okay, that's all I can think of for now, but if I think of more reasons on either side I will post again. If anyone has any input, please feel free to write! I have to make a decision within the next week. (I've been thinking and praying about this for a while now, and I just haven't been able to make up my mind!)
