Holidays, can they be over already?

one of my creations from last year
   You're buried under piles of notes, books and due dates and pray for a fast forward or skip button so you can start your holidays and be passed all this responsibility. Then the long awaited first day of your holidays arrives. Pure bliss. You never thought you would know such happiness, the pleasure of doing absolutely nothing. The next day you do the exact same thing, nothing. Then the next day, and the next day, and the next day passes and all you've done so far is nothing, nothing, and nothing. By the end one one week you feel like you've been in this state for a month. 
   Your food intake has doubled thanks to the fridge and microwave but you're physical activity has been reduced to get out of bed, go to the bathroom, pull on the fridge door and throw yourself on the couch in front of your laptop because there's never anything good on TV.
   Well, that is the unfortunate fate that has left me counting down the days to when the new semester starts. My brain is bombarding me with weird dreams of getting thrown out of university for returning my keys late. I'm getting restless in this prison I call home. My skin is pale from lack of sunlight and my eyes squint with pain every time someone turns the lights on after I turn them off for the gazillionth time. Yes, I have turned into a vampire, but a very unattractive one. 
   So I finally decided to go out on on Friday. Mitra (elder sister) and I went to a bookstore that was having a clearance sale because they were relocating, 90% off so naturally we went crazy, mostly me. 10 minutes into surveying I realized that they have already relocated all their good books and left me with all the dusty old ones. Oh well, since we're here... So I ended up spending RM54 on 8 books and I'm extremely proud of myself for that. I've started on one and so far so good. I hope it'll help me in my drought of inspiration so I can write or sketch something because God knows I need to.
