Management of my time and money with good friendship

This semester, I have an unexpected problem that is related with money, time, and friendship. I have one friend in Baruch. He was in the Army before he got in this school. Year 2005 summer, he received an order to go to Afghanistan from the Army. This summer, he came back to Afghanistan, and he returned to the school. The problem is I registered 17 credits only on Monday and Wednesday form 8:40 am to 8:50 pm, and I only have a break time between 12:30 to 2:50. Because this is the only free time for me, I want to have an breaking time for my self or I want to read some book or other things, but my friend call me to go out eating lunch at 32nd street every day. Actually, his girl friend is attending a private school over there, and she is also one of my friends. Therefore, he wants to go there to eat lunch for our good friendship. Very beginning of this semester I did it, but it provided several problems. First, I need to spend too much money on lunch. I am not willing spend almost $20 for only lunch. If I just eat my lunch in the school, $5 to $8 will be enough for my lunch. Second problem was I felt too tried because I need to walk to 32nd street and back, and meal usually very heavy. If I eat lunch in the school, I can fininsh my lunch within 30 min, and I can have nap or other things for me. However, I just say that I do not want to go there, but I am not comfortable about it. Still I do not have a solution yet. Shall I concentrate my time and money, or friendship?
