A student survey recently found that nearly two-thirds of students spent 15 hours or fewer per week doing coursework, and about 20 percent of both freshmen and seniors claimed to spend fewer than five hours per week. —Computer virus eat your term paper? You’re not alone (Bellingham Herald/AP)

Of course, Karissa… the survey says that 1/3 of students spend more than 15 hours a week doing homework, and I bet that someone who can manage time well enough to blog as much as you do is definitely amont those who can always manage to find time to do homework!
