Patience, grasshopper. You'll make this thing work. She sounds like a determined girl, who wants to keep you as her man, but wants to take her homework seriously. I'd support that.
A few ideas:
1. Pop over and surprise her. Since she'll likely be working on homework, bring her flowers or some coffee. Brighten her day. Here is a good idea - say you're meeting up with some friends for the evening (be vague) and drop by her place, saying "you're the friend I want to meet up with." Leave the flowers, give her a quick kiss and let her get back to work.
2. Send her a card in the mail. Remind her that you respect her work ethic and that you don't want to lose her.
3. If she studies to music or noise, make a mixed tape/cd (do people still make tapes?) to listen to. Make it stuff she'd like, even if you hate it!
4. Try to establish a middle ground. Every other weekend, you get one night to go out with her. Don't force it, but make it such that you both get to have fun.
5. Similar to above, but make it a date night. You both get dressed up, go to a nice restaurant or see a play (NOT a movie). Make a deal about it so that SHE can make a deal about it both in her head and to her friends.
6. Bring over dinner. Or cook dinner.
If you need other suggestions, let me know.
