Well it sounds to me like you've got your life pretty together and have a lot of important things to take care of. In your case your girlfriend should be a source of support, not a source of stress!!
My girlfriend and I went from seeing each other every day to only once a month when she started college about 350 miles away from me. Since that period our relationship has only gotten stronger. I don't know how long it will last, but since we are both being challenged in school it is great to have somone to talk to at the end of the day and we both have no problem saying that we are too busy to talk to the other one. Does your girlfriend go to school or work? It seems like she's got too much free time on her hands, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it can cause a lot of stress when the other person is always busy.
It sounds to me like she needs more from you than you can give, which in this case is quite selfish because you're working very hard for a good future. If she can't get over that or find something else to do other than talk to you then I don't see this problem going away. Distance relationships can be hard emotionally, but overall I believe they can be very healthy. It's good to long for someone and it's also nice to feel fulfilled in your own accomplishments and set your own goals.
