The uni didn't give her two weeks off that was another part I misunderstood/misheard. We're in exam season until 31/01 so nobody has lectures until after that, just exams. However, her course is a only coursework course. Her deadline was last Friday so now that's over she has two weeks off of uni until everyone else's exams are over on 31/01 i.e. she doesn't have any lectures or anything for the next two weeks until they start up again after exam season.

Writing practice for upcoming uni exams no doubt. Typical Shakespearean device.
