What do I do with all the spare time I have?
I recently have been accelerated from the ninth grade to first year college after taking a government issued acceleration test. Now, the results came in a little later than expected, and so I was only able to enroll for the second trimester. I have a couple of months left with nothing to do. We live in a subdivision where commuting is quite hard because of all the road construction, and my mom, who usually drives, recently had an operation. I have a daily jogging routine from 4PM until 5, but other than that I have nothing concrete as to what I should do. I want it to be productive, but it's required that it must be doable indoors. Quick sidenote: I am 2 years into my recovery from dilated cardiomyopathy, so I'm not allowed heavy work, but I do enjoy writing on my blog and reading books. I just think I need to vary my schedule throughout, because I feel so unproductive when I do the same thing everyday.

You may be unaware of any creative talents you may have. Now might be a good time to engage in checking out different things. Try writing a novel, writing poems or lyrics for songs. I had a daughter who self taught herself to play a keyboard. She could hear a piece played and then copy it really well on the keyboard, just by ear.
So you may have musical talent, singing talent you could work on honing, maybe it writing related and you are good at coming up with lyrics for songs. Sewing as one person mentioned she'd be doing, or any crafts. My ex recently got into making jewelry, something I still can't quite picture him as the male he is, doing and doing well, better than me. I know a guy friend of ours who recently started baking more seriously. He always loved baking unique items, bread with sea weed in it for one...and now has a small business delivering a small amount of baked goods to coffee shops and mini marts in his area. If you can at least jog, I would think short bike rides on maybe level streets, no uphill...would be a nice change. I am sure Mom would appreciate any yard work you could help with, mowing and pulling weeds, trimming finished blooms off flowering plants so the plants energy goes into producing more blooms instead of working on seeds, that sort of garden work isn't all that taxing cardio wise but you can get some good muscle stretching and usage in doing such and its nice to be outdoors, might help clear your mind for your blogging. There are probably lots of things you dont yet realize you may be good at simply cus you haven't tried. Have you done any art work, pencil and ink drawing, painting? I took up painting 2 years ago and discovered I enjoyed doing Mandala's. It requires a circle with a repeated pattern done in points/sections of 4,6, 8, 10 0r 12. I plan and measure and plot mine out so in the end the canvas looks like one of those paint by number deals. thats my particular style. You may discover you have a talent for water colors, or abstract art. You won't know until you try. At the least, it becomes a hobby to keep you occupied, at best, it can developement into a sideline business where you are selling things on ETSY or Amazon or somewhere on line.
Good luck.

You could try writing. There are many different things you could write about. You write for the enjoyment of it which is what I do. I don't expect anything I writ to be published I write for the pleasure of it. You write about things you know in a fictional format. You can try your hand a poetry. I also like to cook so I have a file on all of my favorite recipes that I may try to publish if I can get my firefighter friends to chip in there recipes. Some of the greatest cooks are firefighters as they live in the fire stations and have to prepare meals for 4 to 18 people.
You could also take online course in the area of study you wish to follow. I see no reason why you cannot start on some of the prerequisites for whatever major you wish to study.
Then you also have knitting, painting, sculpting scrapbooking and other craft works which can be fun things to do.
