I think posting your first lucids in your DJ is a great idea. Just earlier this week I was reading over a previous lucid dream, and I became lucid that night! Type up your LDs, and try reading them over before you go to bed. Or imagine what you might do while you're lucid when you're drifting off to sleep. It's impressive that your first LD was long, my first one only lasted a moment.

You don't suck OwenLucid, you just live the life of a student! Some folks focus on dreaming and lucid dreaming on days they have off, like weekends. It's not ideal, but if that's all you can manage, then it'll have to do. You could also try taking naps in the day, if you have time. Have you looked at Lesson 1 yet? Try out some of the food/drinks that Ophelia recommended to increase dream recall.
