What have people done this holidays?

As the title suggests, whats everyone done so far this holidays? Or even plan to do?

I'm planning to finish the methods and further courses by the end of it and then start past exams.

Reading through Griffiths' Electrodynamics. Ah it's sooo much better than his shitty quantum mechanics book...
Also getting through Artin's Algebra... which is interesting but confusing
Recently picked up Michael Barnsley's Superfractals, which just looks so awesome... but I need to prepare for next semester first

I am studying better now than I ever did during the semester.

I think all his books are great (also introduction to elementary particles) but found the quantum book to be better than his electrodynamics one :P

Hmm I thought there was a lack of worked examples to learn from and not enough focus on matrix formalism...
Then again, I was using an older version so that might be why
