For your application progress and your peace of mind, this is the time to prepare for the moment you return to campus in January.
You want to be able to hit the ground running. But that's going to take a little planning.
Begin by asking:

Finalizing which progress you want to make before April and which situations you are just going to live with
Of all the things you could do towards your application right now, make "hit the ground running in January" your new goal.
Next, reprioritize your December tasks to ensure you create your January vision
