Trying to Balance Uni with my grappling, choosing b/t wrestling and bjj.

Living in Australia and all the grappling scene here isn't exactly what you'd call "large". One of my problems now is that being in uni restricts a lot more of my time such that i can't really take morning classes and the evening classes of both wrestling and bjj clash and overlap horribly.

Basically; BJJ is on Monday through Saturday and Wrestling is on Tuesday through to Saturday-all evenings and with all the classes of the both arts running (annoyingly) at the same time. I can't train on Tuesdays.

How would you guys suggest I should spend my time with both sports?

If you need to know I've been wrestling and doing bjj for a few years now (and have done judo since i was 8 for 6 years) and am proficient at both sort of equally so I don't really have the need to emphasise wrestling over BJJ or vice versa.
 
BJJ monday and thursday. Wrestling wednesday and friday. Saturday whatever you want.
 
Maybe change schools that offer better times. I'm a full time student here in Melbourne and I manage to train alteast 4 times a week, granted all our classes are either 6 or 7pm including a wrestling/MMA class on Saturday afternoon.
 
Well actually the wrestling times i have there are a combination of 3 different wrestling clubs(MMA gym, a PCYC and the University wrestling club) and the bjj is just one. The other place I could go to for bjj has a similar timetable.

I guess my main issue is that I'm so used to having plenty of time to train couple of sessions a day, doing say bjj twice a week seems insufficient. But maybe thats me being uber-paranoid or something.
