My older sister is coming for a visit during a time when I have to work 5 days a week and go to class 4 of those days I will not be home till after 10pm every night of those 4 days, I would really like to spend quality time with her, as I will not be able to see her for at least 4 years. If I drop these classes I will be able to see her but it will take me a semester longer to graduate, I do not know what to do. Reply to this Question

There are things you can do. Though it won't be easy. Your schedule will be disrupted, you will probably sleep less/worse, and you will generally be more stressed and running around. But it's okay for a few days or weeks, because it's pretty important to you to spend time with her.
So, look at all the "free" time you have and try to get her to participate in it. Meals and the drive to work or school immediately come to mind. Depending on the job, maybe she can hang out with you a bit. maybe she can help you study. Instead of reading or watching TV for 15 minutes before bed, hang out with her. She also has to make some effort to accommodate your schedule. Maybe you can get one day off to go for a hike or go shopping or to a spa or something. still have weekends?
In this situation, every hour counts right?
Best of luck.

 Your sister's visit should not interfere with your schedules.It is unfortunate that you cannot allot more time for her at the moment and she should understand .She would not want to force you to delay your graduations.
After you graduate, you could go and see her when you have the time.
