“Am I actually looking forward to going back to uni?” the incoming fifth year asked herself, as she dragged herself out of bed to the couch for the 300th day in a row.
At first, Sophie Johnson had felt great about her idea to “do nothing” for the summer. Indeed, with no plans whatsoever, Johnson was behaving quite smugly towards her peers who were going straight into clerkships, then into full time paralegal work after Christmas.
But by about December 10th, Johnson realised that taking time off work meant she couldn’t afford to actually enjoy the holidays.
Now, as she reluctantly suffers through more of season 5 of The Crown, Johnson is reportedly starting to feel like 97 weeks of doing nothing is taking a toll. Phineas and Ferb had made a long summer look so easy.
“Thank god uni starts in a few weeks,” she thinks, “otherwise I’d be completely burnt out.”
