Whew, that's a long one!
My gut response to her not wanting you to have her number, is that she's not interested. However, that may not be true, entirely. I've been primarily dating college students for the past year....some are incredibly immature, and some, -the SERIOUS students-, ARE too busy to have a life, or want a life, outside of school. Grad students are the worst! I've dated like 5 grad students, and they really don't have time for a life. As soon as I hear "grad student, and I also teach sections", I want to run for the hills, because I KNOW they don't have time for a relationship.
Fortunately, I've got a grad student dropout now!

One your studies failing somewhat - I too, have let my business somewhat wither, in the past year. After years of being alone, and focusing on business, I've really been relationship oriented for the past year, and have ignored a lot of business things, that I shouldn't have. So I understand that it's hard to have a dual focus, on school and relationships. I guess you just need to try and be as regimented as you can, with your studies.
Best of luck!
