Steve, During your waiting period, gather all of the practical knowledge that you can about aviation, particularly Theory of Flight, but definately not at the expense of your regular school studies.
Don't get into the more advanced technical stuff, such as Navigation, at this stage, the mathematics studies etc. that you've done so far might not adequately cope with this, leading to frustration.
Best of luck Steve,
Regards,
