The first thing I did was sleep. Whenever I wanted, for however long I wanted. What did I do with all my assignments and notebooks? Most of it is kept on a flash drive so I don't have to worry too much about space. I went out and bought myself a really large plastic storage bin (one that can fit under my bed) and put all of my hard copies in there. My binders are tucked away nicely in a box and stowed away in my closet. If I really wanted to I could have given a lot of it away to someone a few years younger in the same program. That might be an option for you. As far as free time is concerned, I spend a lot of shopping. I've recently started watching Smallville from season 1. There are a lot of really good TV series' available for rent from Blockbuster. That's something to consider between other hobbies. Day trips or short road trips are also something we've been doing lately. That requires a little more coordination with the significant other but it's still do-able :o)
