Set a clear schedule for yourself - perhaps only one weeknight and two weekend nights where you actually see each other, limit the number of texts or emails a day, etc and tell her what rules you are setting to ensure time to study. Take into account any time for other friends as well. If she really cares, she will want you to succeed in class as it is important to you. If you want the grades, your priorities and time allotments have to be realistic in relation to the time to study and actually go to class. The rest of your life has to be scheduled around it, not fitting in the study time around the social life. If she doesn't respect this, you two have little in common and no future anyway.
I pulled off a dual major bachelor's in four years with only two B's while engaged to be married. I studied every moment that we weren't together to free those other nights up - he mattered that much to me but my grades and scholarships were just as important. I was able to graduate fourth in my college class. It is possible!

I am currently trying to figure this out, as well. I have been, like, an academic, or whatever you want to call it, pretty much my whole life, and in my first year of junior high (last year), I had drama with friends (one of my friends has been doing drugs, an ex-friend, who had a massive crush on me that year, was abusive, and there were some BAD rumours that led to suicidal thoughts in my friends. I am talking bad. there was a very false rumour about one friend, that said she had been using a sex toy. it was as false as false can be. thankfully, none of them carried through with those thoughts), and I got my first boyfriend, in May.
at Christmas time, I fell behind. like, months and months behind. I became distant. I lost all passion for reading, for writing and drawing, for gymnastics, and even going outside at all. because of this abusive 13 year old boy, I let my grades slip so far, you would have thought I was a 5 year old trying to learn the 7th grade curriculum. I fought long and hard with my closest friends and my parents. I hated everyone, and loved my guy best friends with a huge, almost fetish like passion, because they never caused any drama. I was obsessive, impulsive, and far too grouchy to have possibly been related to the happy child I used to be.
I managed to pull my grades up enough that I could get by. but even still, I was becoming abusive, and I swore and thought nasty thoughts, when I was sure no one could hear them. I finally got away from the horrid boy and all the relationship drama he brought. I was finally becoming happy again, and I regained the loving, trusting relationships I had with my friends, my teachers, and even my parents.
then, I pulled my grades even higher! I felt nothing could be better, now. apart from the fact my very best friend insisted on turning up the grave of the my situations and experiences with the boy, and my other very best friend was leaving for Edmonton at the end of the year, where she would stay until mid September, before flying to Thailand.
by may, I had already been living in my new house for about 4 months. I had already solved most of my problems, and I had managed to pull my grades higher, still. I had even met a nice boy who lived close by, with a brother the same age and grade as my step sister. he understood my drama, and my friendship with him, among other things, marked the return of my happiness. may 22nd, he and I were officially dating. then, with the sudden social popularity boost it gave both of us, I lost sight of my priorities in the haze of having my first boyfriend. my grades slipped again. not nearly as far, but enough that no matter how my mom tried, she could no longer show me how they were slipping. at least before I knew that i wasn't doing well, and i managed to pull them up enough to get one or two masteries on my first report card. however, i had no idea they were slipping so much, and so when i got my last report card, i was sure in trouble! i had gotten mostly acceptables and a few proficents! no masteries!
so, you see, i may have a different problem, but we both need the same answer. i have been thinking set certain times for friends and family and boyfriends (well, for you, girlfriends). and set times for school work. though, that's all i have so far. but i am glad to know someone else also needs help in finding this balance.

Don't hang out or talk to late. If she cares about your work shell understand! Study more often also.
