For what I understand your project would benefit Debian indirectly: new GTD app 
ain our archive, but I don't see direct benefit to Debian that would make
this a real Debian's GSoC project.
If you were talking about a gtd app related to Debian like for organizing 
and tracking Debian bugs, it would be different. (That app already exist
by the way: http://packages.debian.org/sid/debgtd)

To be sure, you should ask Google. For my experience with Spanish universities,
if you already did all the university credits to get your degree AND you did
all the paperwork to ask for your degree title, then you are NOT longer enrolled in 
the University, if you did not ask for your degree title (this mean you still
could do more credits even if you already did all the needed credits), then
you are still enrolled.
