That requires a serious set of priorities.
And by Nodame's belief, she has to pray to Anime every day 
Really though, "Anime" could mean anything non-work related, that's just her chosen hobby. She wants to have some free time to be herself, which is justified.
Nodame, you're doing roughly 11-12 hours of work a day and have a 20 page paper due in April which you're only half done? That is pretty loaded. Have you tried asking your employer or teachers for help - an extension on the paper or a revised working schedule for the next week?
It's better to sacrifice a little of what you want so you can still get what you need done at the end of the day.
That's belief system Nikkoru that many might argue with you.
I agree, just saying that in some circles it's not accepted as truth.
Belief system? It's just prioritization. Knowing your limits, and working within them is simple maturity. As is asking for help when you need it.
An 18 year old should have some time available in their lives for something beyond work, school, eating, and sleeping. If it's anime, that's cool.

That's the point. I haven't watched anime for almost a month already.
And i just can't get an extension on paper, it's the deadline for all of us.
And about work.. i'm doing almost half of it already for a month..
Have you asked? It doesn't hurt to ask. Even if they say no, they can give you guidance on any problem you're having. You've got two more weeks to go, so keep plugging away at it a bit every day.
You mean you're working half time? That was a wise decision. All I can add is you should eat regularly and make sure you get sleep. The stress is only temporary, and think of the joy you'll have when you get back into all your favourite anime.
