Oh people, please keep posting :) I just might find myself in a situation like this.

I'm just finishing my Advanced School (BS equivalent - tree years) and after, whats that, 8 + 4 + 3 = 15 years of education I want to make a break.

Sure eventually I plan to continue it to at least Masters (and will of course learn as long as I live but I'm talking about attending classes, labs, exams ...), but I want at least one year without it now. On the other hand it would be good to get some job - or at least do more freelancing.

What I plan to do, let me see (unordered):

• Lose some weight that I got after appendix operation and yes a little bit of inactivity. I'm preparing my bicycle (repearing it) for loosing fat. Also slowly started on some fall-trougth, pushups, abs and similar. Guess when I can do those with ~ 10 Kg extra, latter it should be easier :)
• Learn a bunch of things they don't teach you in school (well mostly not). Like CVS, basic Linux and Apache admin, mod_perl (get more experience with it) = they don't teach even plain Perl :( And some business and entrepreneurship knowledge ... planing on starting my own little business ...
  
• Someone mentioned it before. Write some modules to stop copy/pasting a bunch of code. I do some freelancing and deadline is not yesterday. It's usually 5 days ago or something like that :)
• At least start working on many sites I've planned. One of them (on first place on to do list) is a Perl learning website. Targeted especially @ beginners.
• I've probably forgot something.

Will think about it all when I finish with .edu things. Few exams and two projects (one is dissertation project) to go.
