And this is only for the weekdays, on the weekends I probably don't need to go to class and I can do more studying/socializing. And I can do problem sets outside. Maybe go to lake tahoe on a long weekend. I'm not saying that Ph.D econ will be a walk in the park for me and I plan to work hard. But it's all relative, and if you compare my forecast with my current schedule, I think I will appreciate the new life style a lot more.
That's very interesting, I was expecting to have about six or seven hours of sleep daily, but your schedule makes a lot of sense (though I'd add time for household chores). Perhaps I'll have to learn to manage my waking hours better, so that I need less of them.

Tahoe sounds really nice for those long weekends (but oh the guilt afterwards!)...

Good luck at Stanford, see ya at the Little Big Game!
