Help me learn Latin while not abandoning my family

I'm taking an intensive language course (6-hours-per-day, 5-days-per-week in the classroom and additional study is expected) and want to rock it. But I also want to have a life. What are your best tricks for intensive language acquisition or balancing such intensive study with life? The course is in Latin, so there's no chance I'll be able to immerse myself in, say, subtitled films. We're starting at Latin 101 and, five weeks later, will finish all the grammar and begin translation (we're doing either Ovid, or Virgil, or maybe Cicero?; I'm not sure which). And I'm starting from nil: while I am strong in other Romance languages (varying degrees of competency in Spanish, French, and Portuguese, though it's been over a decade since I've actually done any study in a language) this will be my first real exposure to the pure stuff.

I am hoping to hear from others who have taken similar intensive courses, and to get your what-I-wish-I'd-known-before-I-started advice, but I'm willing to hear from anyone who'd had success learning a new language.

My other big concern is balancing my family life with such intensive study time. I have a spouse and I have delightful children and I want to enjoy them as much as possible, too. Balance is always tough, but I somehow fear that this intensive study of a new language might be especially so. I would love to be proven wrong on this one. My family has been especially patient during my other graduate coursework, and I was kinda hoping to have a bit of a break. At least this term I won't have to write any big ole papers, right? Right?

So: language acquisition tips? family balance during intensive summer study tips? Hit me.
