"My main advice is keeping a good journal. Write down the big ideas and the ideas for down the road." Dan.

Life's advice from Dan

My main advice is keeping a good journal.  Write down the big ideas and the ideas for down the road while you build the necessary infrastructure of lower level skills.  For exercise at the point in the semester I would not freight them with needing to be big ideas.

Creating final projects or thesis projects that thread the needle of hinting at the big possibilities within your current skills is the best exercise of all.
