I know where you are coming from! I too have to spend a couple of hours each evening studying, just think though it willl be sooo worth the effort in the end.
I've been at my degree for about 6 years now (slow and steady wins the race!) and it sometimes feels like I don't have a life of my own what with work and family commitments too, but I ALWAYS make sure I have a little bit of me time each and every day....even if it is only 20 mins, it's MY 20 mins!
Education is important but so is a healthy state of mind....trying to find that balance can be tough but I'm sure you will find your rhythm for juggling life, school and stitching soon enough!
As for your WIP....it is gorgeous! This piece makes me want to snuggle up to that fire with those doggies with a nice cup of cocoa and a blanket.....heaven!
