*** 37.5 Hours of Entertainment PER WEEK ***
Putting all of this in perspective: in a week (which is made up of 168 hours), I spend 22% of my time on entertainment (which translates to 2.5 days of each 7 day week...or, in more upsetting terms, it's like watching television, reading, etc. from Midnight on Monday until Noon on Tuesday each week). This stacks up against 29% of time spent sleeping per week, 15% of my time eating meals, 4% of my time getting showered and dressed, 4% of my time driving in a car, and 0.002% of my time sneezing (this is assuming that an average sneeze, from starting to feel the sneeze urge to the finished sneeze, is 3 seconds long, and I sneeze approximately 4 times per week). Therefore, after being entertained, sleeping, eating, showering/dressing, driving, and sneezing, I have 25.998% of my week left to spend working, seeing my girlfriend, family, and friends, and thinking about the future plans of my life.
I can draw two conclusions from all of this data: (1) I should probably be spending less time on entertainment and more time on important things like thinking about my future (graduate school, here I come?); and (2) I need to find a way to either minimize my sneezing, or lessen the length of my sneezes to about 2.3 seconds each, because it's really eating into my TV watching time.
(How absurd is this picture!?)
