I had 2 yeasts whit labs and wyeast, I was going to make a white labs starter, but I was stupid and smacked the smack pack. I don't want to use the smack pack for another week, What should I do with it?
 
will it keep for the week with out a problem? I'm going to make a starter for it for sure.

It shouldn't be a problem... the temperature in the fridge should put the yeasties back to bed. When you get ready to use it, take it back out of the fridge and let it come up to room temp on its own and let the pack swell, then pitch it to a starter.
