Okay, realised I got something wrong while watching.

Spoiler:

Ryuuji actually circled "work" in the form at the start of his second year, not "college" as I thought in an earlier post. I still quite can't get on the rush on Yasuko's end to start working more. I guess I just have to accept that though it's still a year away, she has to start now so she can save enough to send Ryuuji through college.

And finally I got the full gist of what Minorin said, maybe this was influenced by another comment I read somewhere, but really to her, she doesn't want to immerse herself in something that she cannot see, cause what she can't see will confuse her, and prevent her from forwarding on with she can see.

She wants to reciprocate her feelings for Ryuuji but because of Taiga, because of her goals in life, she feels she can't do that. Life priorities over love, I guess. Acceptable, from my point of view, cause her objectives have always been the one to keep her going.

Hope to see her background fully fleshed out before the end. An interesting character in my opinion and worthy of respect in some way or another.
