Adjustment to a schedule where you get to see each other less often and talk to each other less often is probably going to be the best thing at this point, but be careful not to drop off completely. Skipping a day or two every now and then if you're really busy is okay to do.
Right now my girlfriend has been exceedingly busy with her schoolwork, and furthermore, it's a long distance relationship where I only get to see her every 3 weeks or so. I don't get to talk to her more than 3 or 4 times a week, and it's been *real* hard adjusting to, but I think she's worth it, so I'm sticking it out. I mean, her final projects for the quarter are due this weekend, so after that we'll get to talk more.
I dunno, it is a tricky situation. Get her flowers randomly or something every now and then. Make sure she knows that you still care about her even though it's difficult to see each other. If it proves to be too hard to adjust, unfortunately it might not be meant to be. You're still young, so the worst case scenario here isn't that terrible.
Still, just talk to each other at least 3 times a week (every day if your schedules are really that busy might cause extra strain), and try to see each other one or two times a week for a date if your schedules can work it. Or try and get your work schedules more similar to each other so you both get the same afternoon off or something. There's probably a lot of things you can try, if you're both up for working at it.
