That's a very vague question... If you want some suggestions of VB programs I had to do at school, here are a few:
- home-made browser (with tabs (optinnal))
- budget calculator (put all your info in a DB, and display in a datagrid: withdrawls in RED, deposits in GREEN)
- Chat system (with or without a server (without server is easier, but with server is multi-client)
- Forum Viewer (not from school) (you create a program that collects the data from a forum, and put it all in an easy-to-use interface)...

As I said, you should tell us what you want to practice... Web development? threads? windows processes? Dynamic library listings (DLL)?

Your projects should really come from you. You say you're still learning which is why you need to ask for ideas. But you have a genuine interest if you want to do it out of school. That's good. In that case a good idea would be to get a book, and advance along on your own, doing the exercises. That way when you go back to school you'll be ahead of your class.

Yeah, if you have a real passion for programming, you'll see it all around you... you'll be using you computer, and will want some random program that you can't find online. As a programmer, you have no limitations on which program you use... I finished programming, and now i'm studying electronics to be able to build peripherals for my PC, instead of just using programs... It depends what you need

Programming in Visual Basic is really simple.....

He seemed to want to say "Visual Studio 2010 Express" since the language would be "Visual Basic .Net 4.0"
