Dear waliao,
M©'s advise you to stay put at where you are and truly respect her
when she told you that she needed time because of the past
r/s.
Studies and piority towards her parents might be her values that
she's holding on right now.
Yes she is confused, herself. She is trying to keep to what she
said but yet cannot resist your attention towards her.
Her effort to overcome the previous r/s might be masked due to your
presence, she cannot fully recover hence higher possibility of
having excess bagguage.
Infact, her mixed signals will suggest that you steer clear from
her until she have made up her mind.

AA advise
M©'s suggest that you have a good talk with her and tell her where
the both of your are and how to proceed. If she have interest in
you, work it out.
Stop all the mixed signals by communication and stop showering
attention on her.
Cheers
