Nice, I've taken a year off too! Wait lemme say that again in the right way: I've taken a year off too.
Although I'm just a student. Skipped my finals of my final year.
Filled my time with learning a new language (Japanese) and a lot (a lot!) of subjects from Khan Academy's website (kinda ironical, after skipping my exams.)
I'm guessing you're going with the flow. But is there any one thing you're looking forward to doing?
PS: Saw your name suggested in the 'win a free SteemFest3 ticket' post, came by from there~
