Forced to take a year off of school. What now?

Hey, fellow monkeys would really appreciate your input on my situation. I'm being "forced" to take a year off of school because I did not get financing for my spring semester. It's going to cost me 25k. I'll have to work for a year to pay the school until I can re-enroll. Currently working 50 hours a week.

What else can I do with this time so it's not a year wasted?

How can I continue to advance to my goal of IB while in this position?

For starters, I think I'll travel with my vacation time, focus on fitness and maybe reading. Should I try to do something like learn the Rosenbaum book? Any input appreciated. I won't give this up.
