Consider answering questions on stackoverflow. I have nowhere near the schooling you do, and basically spend 30 minutes a day clicking through questions and just reading them - even though I can't answer, I'm finding it to be a valuable experience.

Hey, thanks for replying.

I have a stackoverflow profile, and I do try to reply to questions, but my ratio of questions asked to questions answered is 6:1.

That's because for me, as an intermediate programmer, most questions fall on one of these two categories:

- Incredibly easy: Anyone can answer these.

- Incredibly hard: Really above my skill level.

More or less where I'm at, as well, so I don't have too much more advice :(. I've read all the books and done all the tutorials, so I'm strong on the easy, fundamental stuff but now I'm really not sure how to progress all that much further.
