Think of a program you'd like to actually have for your own use, then write it in Java. You're likely to find that it's got some problems, because you haven't used Java in a while, so fix those problems, or even rewrite the whole program from scratch. You only have a week - well really two before you'd be expected to turn in any work - so this program you'd want for your own use shouldn't be so ambitious. "Effective Java" is a good book.
