You are certainly not an oddball. In Europe, it is commonplace for an individual to spend ONE YEAR between the degrees of Craft Masonry. The time is spent on reflection, contemplation, study. Often, a newly made mason, is required to prepare a paper, and deliver a presentation in open lodge.

You may wish to view this information about "Traditional Observance" lodges.

Albert Pike, who refurbished Scottish Rite Masonry, wanted the 29 operative degrees to take one year EACH. You can now do the entire Scottish Rite degrees in one day.

I am delighted to hear of your desire to make your Masonic experience more meaningful. May the Great Architect of the Universe guide your steps.
