Can..so that...would
Hello,
can i mix CAN with WOULD like this?
I can go home so that I would not be bored.
I thought "would" is a past future form of will.
But it can be used in hypothetical sense as well?
So in the above sentence, I can use would as in yeah, that WOULD happen if I can go home now.
Or should I use something else?
I don't want to use WILL because it seems likely defintely I will not be bored. But I am just thinking that i would not be bored.

If I can go home, I won't [feel / be] bored. (less hypothetical)
If I could go home, I wouldn't [feel / be] bor
