RPin' on a time budget

Ok so. I've been told that some people are having issues with my availability and/or the amount of time I've been RPing. Here is my schedule, all times are in EST (Every other weekend I go out of town to see friends. -1 days are weekends I'm at home -2 are ones I am not. You'll probably have to just ask to know which I'm on, sorry. Also work times in italics are highly negotiable, I don't have to return to work both days to meet my hour quota.):

Sunday-1: Dynamis: 12:30 - approximately 5:00; Nyzul: approx. 5:45 - approx. 8:00; Free time: 8:00 - 12:00
Sunday-2: Dynamis: 12:30 - approximately 5:00; Nyzul: approx. 5:45 - approx. 8:00; Driving Home, may not be available
Monday: Work: 8:00 - 1:30; School: 2:00 - 5:00; ENM: approx. 6:00 - approx. 7:30; Free time: approx. 7:30 - 12:00
Tuesday: Work: 8:00 - 12:30; School: 1:00 - 3:20; Work: 3:40 - 5:00; Salvage 6:00 - approx. 7:40; Free time: 7:40 - 12:00
Wednesday: Work: 8:00 - 1:30; School: 2:00 - 5:00; Salvage 6:40 - approx. 8:20; Free time: 8:20 - 12:00 (Unless I participate in Limbus, in which case there's really not any free time that night.)
Thursday: Work: 8:00 - 12:30; School: 1:00 - 3:20; Work: 3:40 - 6:30; School: 7:00 - 10:00; Free time: 10:30-12:00
Friday: Fridays I try and set aside for stuff I've put off during the week, but if you ask, I may be able to make time anyway. I usually get up around 12:00 and leave around 8:00.
Saturday-1: HNMLS 12:00 - 5:00 (at the latest, it usually ends earlier); As for the rest of the night, I try to spend my weekends with friends, but if asked ahead of time, I can try to reschedule.
Saturday-2: Not available at all

Please keep in mind I have several hours of homework a week, including, but not limited to; reading for literature class and drawings for a drawing class, both of which are very time intensive. I'm also preparing for an art show in October, also time consuming. I'll do my best to make time for those who request it, but the simple fact is, if I'm not informed of an RP event or asked for a personal RP ahead of time, half the time I'll plan to do something else.

Sister, I can totally relate. It's very hard to work, go to school, have an active social life, and still have time for the hobbies you enjoy.

Just don't burn out, yo.

I understand about how tight you are on time, but that isn't my problem. My main problem is that I work nightshift, and most of the events take place during the evening hours on a weekday. ;-; I can understand if theres no other way around it, but I think it sucks that I can't get Raku more involved with whats going on and I'd really like to.

Maybe I'm not bugging people enough, but I don't like going "zomg rp prz prz prz!1!!!11!one"

It's an unfortunate fact that, with everyone having different time availabilities, getting together with others can be difficult. Events are generally set around times and frequencies that are good for the majority of the people interested. Is there no-one else in the shell who shares a similar schedule to yours?
