What should I do for the next 3 weeks?

Hey folks,

I know you're all gonna hate me after this thread, but f*ck it

I've got a break from college for the next 3 weeks, for some reason!

I asked for more hours in work, so it looks like I'm working 6.30am - 11am weekdays, 6pm - 10pm on top of that probably on Thursday, and 2pm - 6pm on Sunday. Bloody sh!t hours, but what can ye do...

Anyways, that leaves me with most of my day free, which in theory is great, but in practice, as most people usually agree, the novelty wears off after a day or two and boredom sets in. Most of my friends go to different colleges too, so I'll be on my lonesome alot of the time. That's not all bad though, I won't be getting upset over it!

So the reason I'm making this thread is, I want some sort of project, or projectS, that I can do over the next 3 weeks, when I'm not doing the odd bit of college work

I'm interested in computers, engineering, building things, etc., and I have minimal supplies (that's in terms of materials, I have tools; although I live near some hardware stores, and can get a bus for some other materials).

I want you all to (a) call me a name for having 3 weeks off

, and (b) throw suggestions at me for a constructive (badum-tshhh

) way to use my time.

Thanks!

BTW, studying is not an option

Maybe I'll get a jigsaw...!

paint a picture on canvas

You seem like you need some inspiration, so go to the library, grab a book and go to a river.

Or get some of your college mates to bunk off with you

Get some MDF from the hardware store and using your tools fashion likenesses of Bosco "Bad Attitude" Baracas, John "Hannibal" Smith, HM "Howling Mad" Murdock and Templeton "Faceman" Peck which you should disperse around your locked bathroom. Together, you and your new A-Team comrades can hatch and execute an ingenious escape plan using only items which can be found in said bathroom. Once free from your temporary imprisonment you can recount your adventure to you college mates who will be forever envious.
