While I don't necessarily have a personal schedule of everything that I do, I can still say that my life is fairly busy as is. University classes, homework, and all of the extra-curricular activities (hockey, ball hockey, refereeing hockey, and kendo) that I partake in take out a sizable amount of my time. Factor in a social life and other commitments that pop up, and essentially my free time just vanishes in a puff of smoke.
I don't know how I manage to balance all that some of the time.

This. And no, this is not over-exaggerated. Performances and such only apply to this upcoming week. If we're talking a normal week, imagine them replaced by more of those homework blocks.
Homework consists of both written work and studying. Too much information in Bio to study, transferred into Chemistry a week late so I only just caught up, and we're doing short-stories in English leads my teacher to give the class like, 25-30 obscure questions on a different obscure story each night.
English is actually more of a killer this year than Bio, or at least at the moment.

How can you live with that schedule? 3 hours of sleep from Monday to Friday? That's easily the worst (in terms of workload) schedule I have ever seen. Why do you need to do so much homework?

This semester's been ridiculously busy for me with five classes. Most of my time's been spent working on papers for English and other classes. Monday , Wednesday, and Friday, my school schedule is from 9:00-3:30, with one-hour breaks between a few of my classes. Tuesday and Thursday, it's 10:00-1:45, again with a one-hour break but I have a 75-minute class on those days. I've also had a few exams lately, so that made me even busier. I'll anyway get to take a break during Spring Break, which starts on March 5 for me.

Because the guidance counselors at my school hate me and put all of my easy classes in one semester (scored an 86 average effortlessly, and that's literal; I did no homework whatsoever, though there was hardly any at all). This semester, they thought it would be funny to put me in the difficult courses and gave me the most strenuous teachers to work with.
I'm not kidding. I've asked people who did and did not have the teachers I currently have who took the courses I have now before, and everyone who had the teachers I currently have said it was an awful experience. The guidance counselors at my school must think it's pretty hilarious.
Also, I've almost passed out several times in every single class (yes, that includes jazz class, where everyone's very loud and should be able to keep me up), and that huge chunk of work on Sundays is from all the work throughout the week I couldn't get done within the time I have. It's been a pretty awful ride this semester.

Oh come on, you can probably filter out some of those homework blocks. I mean, if you're not shooting for 100% in everything (which you honestly should be getting if you're working that hard), then there is no reason to kill yourself with that much studying/homework.
On the other hand, if you ARE striving for 100% in everything, all the power to you. Do try to get some more sleep though.

Well 5/7 days on average I work varying hours between 6 - 10 hours which falls under overtime if it's past 8. Some weeks I work nonstop through the week. About 3 weeks ago I worked 12 days in a row and racked up 57 hours one week (17 hours of overtime). When I'm not at work I'm at home dealing with countless family matters or my son who is only still a baby. 3 days out of the week on average I'm at school bright and early in the mornings most of the time (5-6am) for a couple hours only. Miscellaneous things such as mod duties on smwc along porting projects and the occasional hack, I'm normally pretty busy. This week I got a big break though which I really needed. 4 days off work in a row, mom and my girlfriend offered to watch the little one for a couple days so I can have some "me time".

I am usually super busy due to me taking IB courses. Most of my teachers assign a hell a lot of homework assignments, which I'm totally fine with doing them. Shit that makes things worse, though, is they scarcely ever give us plenty of time to work on them. I also have a tendency to leave things until the last minute, so yeah, that will make things even worse. 
If I don't have any work to do at home, I usually spend the rest of the day porting/composing some songs, le 9gaggin' on 9gag.com, laughing at all those attention whores who whore out on facebook, join a buttcall on skype, and e.t.c..
During weekends/holidays, aside from sleeping and hanging out with friends, I pretty much spend a whole day doing the things I mentioned in the previous paragraph, lol.
Yeah, that's my life in brief.
I should hopefully be less busy next year..
