…what is in your interest is to learn something, to use the chance your school probably gives you — to learn something. "I need a live project…" and similar stuff won't help you. Nothing helps you unless you actually build your project by yourself. If you are not getting to this work, you are really in big trouble.
[EDIT]
One more thing: I just remembered that in many similar cases I use a reference to a very encouraging article every software developer ought to know:
Peter Norvig, Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years,
