Whatever you do: don't just sit back and relax. If I were you, I'd find a problem you have and try and build something to fix it. Complement that with occasional hacks on existing projects. To me, being a "hacker" is someone who's never really satisfied. Ask questions about why things are the way they are, and do work to change that. Good luck.
