I'm tired of working, I really would like to just have a part-time job and get back to school by January.

In the meantime, I'm looking for enjoyable ways to spend the next couple of months while I'm not working.

I was thinking of signing up for a month-long yoga class, reading up on co-op history + anarchist theory, volunteering at the cooperative I help start and generally just taking care of household chores.

Any other suggestions? I want to stay busy, but unstressed.
