<p>I'm just curious to see how much time other people spend. If the figure changes just give a general range.</p>
<p>I spend 46</p>
<p>This is an estimate.....it REALLY changes.
28 maybe? Otherwise I work, go to school and I have a Free the children chapter and 2 other orgs (charity stuff) to take care of.</p>
<p>Yeah I should mention that my figure of 46 is the high point, during my 10-week swim season, Otherwise it's more like 35. </p>
<p>Easy way to add it up is to look over what you put for your common app :P</p>
<p>Not apping Yale, but approx 25 hrs/wk.</p>
<p>are we counting employment? some of us do things like that</p>
<p>Yes, definitely include that! :)</p>
<p>46 hours? That's slightly less than 7 hours a day, including weekends. When do you sleep?</p>
<p>And how long are your school days? Isn't 46 hours longer than an average work week?</p>
<p>I know, it seemed like an absurd amount when I put it down on paper, but it's about right. But keep in mind this was only for last semester.</p>
<p>During swim season I get about 8 hours of sleep a night. That is 112 hours when I'm awake, and 46 hours are only about 40% of that time. </p>
<p>Since I'm home schooled, I have more time to put to my extra curricular activities :) Also, 15 hours/week of it is on the computer, which is relatively flexible and easy to do in the evening.</p>
<p>ex - school work generally takes 7:00-1:00, between 1:00-7:00 PM is a couple hours of college homework/ECs, then swim practice 7:00-9:00 and my computer work until 11:00 PM. Which is why I have cut down on some of my activities this semester, and I also thankfully don't have swim team. Last semester was a little rough</p>
<p>EDIT: hpa, I think 46 is the average American work week.</p>
<p>Hmm...I'd say during cross-country or track seasons I do about 3 hours a day of running. I do tutoring which takes up 2-3 hours some days. Student Council planning takes some time. I'm not doing as much right now as I usually do, so I'm guestimating 20ish hours total.</p>
<p>Somewhere between 32-40 depending on the week (I have twice monthly job..)</p>
<p>Lolcats, I admire your dedication to start @ 7. I'm homeschooled, too, but I start at 8.</p>
<p>Generally, I spend 15-20 hours on EC's, although being involved in theatre, it can fluctuate. ( ie, last week I spent 18 hours on a film set, so overall it was like 35 hours total.)</p>
<p>Zero. I transcend whatever activity I come in contact with, so extracurriculars in reality spend time on me.</p>

<p>That explains a lot... Still seems like a ridiculously huge number, but then again, this is CC and you guys are out of this world amazing.</p>
<p>It's probably more like 43ish because some of it is compressed during swim season (10 weeks). Otherwise it's more like 35/week. But I wasn't too surprised when I calculated that number because swim season = no spare seconds. (Therefor spring semester = more sleep semester) :P</p>

<p>Haha, you should have seen how much I overslept during break.</p>
<p>Yet I've read the horror stories on here which make me feel very lucky to get 7-8 hours!! :P</p>
