future plans, oh those future plans

I'm exhausted.  I'm getting very close to burning out but need to keep on pushing.  I need a break from being a student.
I'm currently considering my options for the rest of my life.  At the end of this academic year, I will be graduating with my BA in Cultural Studies.  I had planned to go immediately into my Masters, but as this year just goes on, exhaustion sets in more and more.  To fix this, I think I'm going to give myself a year of reprieve.  Have a year to catch up on all the reading I want to do, make a solid post-graduate plan, and to give myself a moment of rest.
It's a good idea and is very appealing.  A little more thinking and a little more strategizing on the subject will lead to a little more certainty.
