Geert,

A credit is supposed to be one hour per week of class time for college
courses.  Thus, ten credits ~= ten hours of class per week.  The rule of thumb
for how much time to spend on your classes, is three times the number of
credits that it is.  Thus, I should be spending 30 hours per week on my
classes, in theory.  So, the calculation goes something more like this:

168 - 43 - 30 - (8h per night * 7 nights per week) = 39h for eating, washing,
attending weddings (two last weekend), getting to class and work, going to
doctors appointments (you wouldn't believe the number of these that I've got),
attending to a fiance who got her wisdom teeth out last week, visiting family,
etc. ~= 2h for answering emails :)

For some reason the last few weeks have just been exteremely busy.  I don't
know why.
