Why Are These Desires Alive?

I want to learn Sanskrit,one of the most ancient,classic languages of the world.For a few months I have been trying to understand Sanskrit grammar.But I lack time.By night I get completely exhausted.
Often I think,'Why should I harbour a desire to fulfil which I don't have time?'The question is unanswered.The desire to learn the classic language persists.
Similarly,I want to learn computer programming,web designing etc.But lack of time does not allow me even to begin studying these subjects.
And I know there is not even the ghost of a chance of my ever being in a position to begin studying Sanskrit and computer languages etc.
Still the desires refuse to die.They keep making me feel helpless,restless and forcing myself to keep trying to find some time.
Does God want me to learn these subjects?

I am slowly working on spanish. learning even one word is hard for me, and an accomplishment in of itself. every new thing is one thing more, even if it's not all of the things.
