Ok well its not really, but you couldn't do better this year than treat yourself to a bit of self improvement,
The edx initiative have announced some courses for this year.
these are just a few
The Challenges of Global Poverty — living on under $1 a day, examining and overcoming poverty traps.
Justice — a global dialogue about the big moral and civic questions of our time.
The Ancient Greek Hero — amazing stories, poetry and songs from more than two millennia ago (intro level).
Copyright — who "owns" ideas in the US and beyond – you’ll find out in this pilot course (limited to 500 students).
Human Health and Global Environmental Change — climate change, biodiversity loss and their effect on billions of people.
Introduction to Statistics — an amazing, introductory course on the fundamentals and the science of drawing conclusions from data.
Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computation — a remarkable intro course for students of all types.
Anyway EDX is an initiative between several uni's in the US to encourage online learning. It really is good fun - I finished one just before xmas and it was without doubt the hardest thing I've ever done - it was painting by numbers
Have a squizz - i'm goignt o be doing a few - even if you just want to fill in gaps in your knowledge or find out about something new (or old if your into grrrreek myths).
I gping to do do the quantum physics one - i'm nearly finished with my time travel machine - in fact i'm writing this next week.

The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

If you want to aim for one you can get a certificate, which is nice, some courses are longer than others and, if you want to, you can be assessed, the online classes are massive - theres one, CS50 that has over 100,000 - I really recommend them, if only to get people away from the x-factor mind set.The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
