It is widely recognized that how busy one is does not scale linearly with the number of courses one is taking.

When reporting the number of courses you are taking the following rules apply:

Relationships count as one course equivalent unit
MMORPGs count as one course equivalent unit; this is arguably a corollary of the above
Sports teams count as one course equivalent unit
No matter how easy a class is, it still counts as one course equivalent unit; you're still doing work
It is considered bad form to count hard classes as more than one course equivalent unit
Performance groups with more than 5 hours of rehearsal time per week count as one course equivalent unit
Labs that last until 6pm and then require you to write 10 page lab reports on a weekly basis count as one course equivalent unit
Prolonged sickness, such as mono, count as one course equivalent unit for the duration of the sickness
