What next?

Hello all! I'm pretty new to this forum (my Introduction is still at the top position of the page at the time of writing this), so please bear with me.
I learned NT Greek in 9th grade, did Wallace's ExSyn the following year, and since have been working on reading the Greek New Testament (a marvelous experience!). Now, I'm in 12th grade and am starting to approach finishing the Greek NT, so I'm not sure what to do after that. I've been considering incorporating the GNT into daily devotions and waiting for college/seminary to deepen my study, expanding to extrabiblical literature (patristics, LXX, etc.), or intensively studying vocab (I really don't want to do this, but it would make reading so much easier). I've even played around with the idea of doing a research project (I really love all the speeches in Acts), though I think I don't have the experience and the wisdom to "rightly divide the word of truth" at this stage in my life.
What do you think? What has helped you deepen your appreciation for the Bible through your study of Greek?
Thanks!
