Hi Sarah;

From your post my advice is to hold off for a little bit. I base this mainly on the the fact that you seem to have plenty of opprotunity for Aikido practice and worse there is a conflict between the Karate and Aikido (same night). You have plenty of time ahead.

No worries about the Shotokan instructor. Just be up-front and commit for at least a year. You will need at least that if classes are once a week. A serious martial arts student (which you demonstrate by what you are doing) is always welcome. It beats the raw beginners any time. If you do Aikido and Karate the same night, it is much more difficult to maintain the commitment however. Trust me I know all about heaping too much on my plate.
