The best thing you can do, as others have already stated, is to keep in contact with her on some level daily; a phone call, an email, a conversation online, anything that works well for the two of you. As long as you both feel that the other person cares about what's happening in each other's lives, the relationship will be easier to maintain. And then when you do get the chance to actually be together, be sure that you're both really committed to making that time count. Go out and have a nice dinner, cuddle while watching a movie that you've both been wanting to see, whatever you do just make it clear that the time you're spending together is the most important thing at that moment (there are always exceptions of course, but you get the idea). However, you both, her included, need to understand the limitations of a long distance relationship. If she's expecting unreasonable things of you and not giving anything in return, then that's simply selfish. If you can't come to a reasonable compromise then it's probably better for you both to focus on your individual lives.
