I don't blame you. You're used to all kinds of classes and projects, interacting with different people all the time . . .now you sit in an office and see the same 12 people day after day, right?
I'm in the same situation. I like to spend my lunch hours in different coffee shops and parks - I try to go somewhere new each day. Often I'll eat at my desk, the just get tea or coffee at the coffee shop.
I've also started volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters and Habitat for Humanity, and I've become involved as a volunteer for the Obama '08 campaign.

Try coin collecting. It doesn't have to cost you a lot. You can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination you like) for exactly face value. A box of pennies is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of half dollars or quarters are $500. The bank can pull out just $100 for you and you wouldn't have to buy all $500 if you didn't want to.
Once you get a box, you can go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). You can pick up a coin book and try to fill all the holes or just search for interesting ones.
The coins that you don't want can be returned to the bank and put straight back into your account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that you don't search the same boxes over and over). So you get most of your money back and you could then get another box.
Also check your change for interesting finds.
Some things to search for: wheat pennies, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, etc. There's always the chance that you could find a real treasure!
It's also helpful to buy a red book. It can help you price your coins and will answer many of the questions you may have.
OR IF THAT'S NOT FOR YOU...

which BA?
try getting a hobby relating to your BA and you have some knowledge on
for example, if your ba relate anything about health, you should have taken classes that talk alot about food works, and how they affect you body, for a hobby, try to improve your cooking skills and find cooking ideas that not only taste great, but is healthy for you, this is a great skill to get your family together
if you did your major on electionics, try taking apart your computer and custom build it
the list goes on and on
remember, if there is any time you want to get a better job relating to your major, then you might be able to score some points by saying that your hobbies are related, this shows that you really know your stuff, and you have some experiance in the field even before you got the job

Why don't you look into some Adult Continuing Education classes at a local college or a place like the Learning Annex (here in NYC, I don't know where you are there might be someplace similar, they hold seminars year round about a whole host of topics). You could pick up a new skill or just find something interesting.

Do you have some time to kill before you start your new job?
You could do some volunteer work. Not only will it leave you satisfied, but you can also add that to your resume.
If that doesn't strike your fancy, do your spring cleaning now...clean out your closet, take items you don't want to Goodwill.
Get started on some Christmas shopping (its never too early for that.)

There's a long answer I posted in another thread similar to this that you might want to read too... it has to do also with figuring out what you might be interested in to pursue as hobbies, etc.:
