Doing the Math...

Besides money worries, I am plagued slightly by time worries.  Here is the math of my 5-day week*:


5 days x 24 hrs/day = 120 hours
5 days x 8 hrs sleep/day= -40 hours
Hours of classes/week= -15.5 hours
Hours of Work/week= -17 hours
Hours of Tutoring/week= -4 hours
Hours Studying/week= -20 hours

TOTAL EXTRA TIME 23.5 hours

That's not so bad.  I'm not so worried after that.  That's 4.7 hours a day (in my 5 day week) that I have free to do as I please.  I do spend 2 hours getting ready/eating/studying in the morning... so maybe more like 2.7 hours free to cook, watch TV, play video games, etc...  I doubt I'll spend 20 hrs a week studying, too.  That's if I spend 4 hours a day approximately... which I rarely spend over 2.5.  I'm not really a studier.

Plus, I shouldn't forget the free time allotted by the weekend... the wonderful and merciless weekend.

2 days x 24 hrs/day= 48 hours
2 days x 10 hrs sleep/day= -20 hours
Total Free Time= ~28 Hours

That's pretty sweet.  That is ~14 hours a day I can spend gaming, surfing, studying, cooking, watching TV... pretty much anything I please.  I'm sure I'll get lazy during the week and most of my studying will pile up at this time.  At least I know my procrastinating and lazy ass well enough to plan for the eventual outcomes of said procrastination.... However, weeks when I have tests or papers do may be a bit suckier.  Yes, suckier.  I don't care if it's not a work.


*These are approximations.  Some weeks I may have more work, more studying, more tutoring, and perhaps less sleep.  And sometimes I will have those glorious weeks were I have lots, and lots of sleep.

I never really saw you as a mathematical person, but this is actually pretty cool. Also, did you factor in travel times? That could add a few hours here and there, especially with the lightning quick CTA at your disposal! That is, unless you've been hiding your teleportation ability from me?

I usually just walk everywhere. I factor in the times into my work... also, classes are about a 3 minute walk... because I live so close to them :P

I thought about that after the math when I realized that I didn't break it down enough. But then I thought, I added extra time everywhere just in case, so I'm sure it's still correct...
