Basically I have a month and a half free before I'm obligated to a certain institution, and I have absulotely no idea what to do! I'm stuck at home looking for projects to keep myself busy with, but I fail to come up with anything good or creative.

If anyone got a suggestion or thought, please share!

Write, read, watch films, drink, take drugs, listen to music.

I meant "do" in the sense of "make" something. I'm looking for a project, not just to bum throughout.

Astronomy.
Archery.
Skeet Shooting.
in fact, just find your local Boy Scouts, and volunteer... you'll learn plenty of skills while helping the community.

or you could teach yourself to yodel.... but for the sake of your neighbors, that might not be such a good idea.

Foreign languages are cool too... or you could take up math.

LOL every time I've had a few weeks of free time I had one or two or more projects in mind...
... Now I don't even bother starting them anymore cos I know myself so well to be sure I'll never conclude them and so I do bum around all the time (which is what I'm doing in these weeks till August comes) :(

However, if you are less incostant than my useless self, you could devote yourself to writing something, if you're one of those who write... Or the language thing they suggested is a good one but then I think you have to have a real passion for it (this reminds me of my 'hey let's learn Czech' stuck on lesson 1...despite being passionate abotu languages).
I don't know, I also usually plan to put things in order when I have some free time...clean up around, finish things I once started, collect poems and bits in a proper place...stuff like that.
Or just read a few books... ;)

Eh, well, I don't think I have it to learn a language in a month and a half (even less frankly). I'm looking to create something, not to indulge myself in something created. I guess I'll make another attempt to write something... I just hope I won't get discouraged after a few chapters... you can check it out at the General Writing section. :)

Well to learn a language it would take you years, but get the basics can be fun... but I'd recommend you the writing....

I think too much time is a double edged sword, it can be the bane of existence or the instiller of adventure, misadventure, fortune, and chaos or even total enlightenment.
