Holly wake up from her daydream from an angry honk from a nearby car. She misses traveling. Amsterdam is a great city to get lost into especially with a friend like Luuk. They still keep in touch with each other despite the long distance. She wish she can just hop on to an airplane and go wherever she wants. Do whatever she wants. Whenever she wants.
She drive along the city streets in her pink Jeep for less than ten minutes before arriving at her destination, the campus. She got off work early today to do some school work, which seem to her, keeps piling up. There was one time that Holly almost burst into tears because she was overwhelmed by her work and school. She almost want to quit either one of them but she didn't. It will only take a year to finish her postgraduate. It will be a loss at her part if she is to quit now.
Carrying her big backpack and a handbag with notes in her hands, she walk less than ten minutes to her faculty. The heat and the humidity makes the journey harder even though it is just a short one. She stop by the vending machine to get a can of her favorite coffee. She really need it. She can't see herself doing her work for today without any caffeine in her system.
Healthy lifestyle can wait. At least for a week.

A knock on the door wake her up. She can see a floating head through the glass door. She scream and she feels like her mind shuts down for a moment. She cannot think properly. Her body is frozen in its place. The floating head open the door and ask her if she is okay. When Holly realize it is just the security guard, she nodded and she can feel all the blood that rushed through her brain is back to normal. She pack all her things and go home.
Because it is time to lock the door to the classroom.
So, she go home. With the memory of the floating head still haunts her.
