I Must Be Doing A Lot More Procrastinating Than I Thought

So I picked up the latest issue of the National Jurist and found out that conventional wisdom has the first-year law student studying three hours outside of class for every hour spent in the class room. The article also parcels out time for sleep, commuting, etc. Taking their numbers and just adjusting the hours spent in class, here's what a normal week for a Southwestern law student should be:

Hours in class: 14
Hours studying outside of class: 42
Time commuting: 10
Sleep: (6 hours per night): 42
Eating, washing, and other personal niceties and necesities: 10
Total: 118
Hours in a week: 166

That would leave the average law student at Southwestern with 48 hours - a whole weekend - of free time - where does it all go?
