How I Spend My Life

So today, I went to meet with a professor about some job I was helping him with. My OOP brain, despite being very much sleep-deprived or perhaps because of it, was wondering how much of my life I was spending on this job of mine and other activities. So when I got back, I decided to do a quick analysis.

Hours in a week: 24 * 7 = 168
Sleeping: 8 * 7 = 56
Cooking and eating (mostly eating): 2.5*7 = 17.5
Class: 17
Studying: 4 * 7 = 28
Job: 5
Outdoor Leadership stuff: 3

Total:126.5
So there's a massive 41.5 hours unaccounted for and my job and outdoor stuff which is the only thing extra I have been doing this semester is responsible for only a paltry 8/112 = 7% of my waking hours whereas 37% of my awake life goes down a black hole every week. Wow, procrastination. The irony is not lost on me as I write this that thinking about how my life is spent has taken up a good chunk of my day. As has trying to cook pancakes without proper pancake batter at 11 pm.

So on my way back to my room from Zhihao's apartment and pancake/fake prata frying, I calibrated my hours
Weekend fun/nuaing: 10 hours
I probably spend more time on meals too + 5
And I probably spend more time "studying" all 28+++ of it spent with a textbook open while also msn and surfing (yes multi-tasking and we all know what that leads to during WE) so make that +7 hours for 35 hours.
So really, only about 20 hours of it goes down a black hole but that still dwarves the time spend on activities and job (well ok going on a 5-day hiking trip takes up time aplenty and there are weeks with additional day-long training) and I play soccer and take yearbook photos sometimes too.

But still, 20 hours a week procrastinating and not including the procrastination inherent in studying? Am I the only one here who feels damn busy but actually wastes tons of time? I encourage all balls to analyze their time and post their results.
Ok toodles, I'm going to watch HIMYM =)
