Default Finding The Time To Play Games

Long story short, today I had one college class from 2pm -5pm and class let out at 4:45pm. However, its now 9:40pm as I type this and I still have online aspects of two classes to work on.

On boxing day I bought Red Dead Redemption GOTY edition, Batman Arkham City, Battlefield 3, and Assassin's Creed Revelations. Thus far I've been able to play 4 online games of BF3. The other games aren't even out of the shrink wrap yet. My questions are....

1) How much time a week (hours wise) would you say you play games?
2) How do you manage your "gaming life" and your professional life? (School, work, whatever.)

I'm seriously having problems with this and classes go from 8am - 5pm tomorrow. Plus weapons training, two hours at the gym, and a ride along. I wont be home till 11pm or 12am....

Probably 3 or less. I have classes from 8 am until about 3 pm, then working out/sports teams until 5 or so, then whatever assignments from that class until I go to sleep. I work every other weekend (per diem, bleh) and then whatever volunteering I have to deal with after that.
I used to stay up very late playing games online, but I just don't see that as being productive anymore.

I don't count feeding my nintendogs for a few minutes each day, though. Poor things are probably starving by now, heh.

Being the nerd that I am... I always have time for games or reading. I just prefer to be on the computer more though. =/

I don't have much time at the moment, to be honest...you just play when you can, if you can.

That's all you can really do.

I rarely have the time during the semester to play games. I end up playing iPhone games mostly now. I have 13 credit hours, a full time job, friends, and a girlfriend. Most of my time not doing homework or being at school is spent at work. Most of the remaining time is spent with my girlfriend and the rest with my friends. It wouldn't be unusual to not play games for weeks.

On the weekends I usually have plenty of time to do whatever I want, after practicing saxophone of course. So much music to learn...

The week is a different story. I might manage to get 6 hours in Monday-Friday due to school, band, clubs, homework, etc. Homestuck is also a nice distraction...

During the fall, when I have marching practice every day after school until 7, I have no time to play games, other than maybe handheld games in the car.

I play about 4-8 per week, but its very broken up or late at night. That's why like handhelds and my android phone so much, it lets me sneak in 5 min here and 15 min there. Sometimes I'll stay up till 6 or so, get like 2 hours of sleep, and just be a caffine zombie the next day. I know that's terrible for my health, but oh well I'll get plenty of sleep when I'm dead.
