Ten years in prison. No joke.
The extra-special shit sandwich they might make you eat is being a prisoner in possession of a controlled substance, which is a Class 5 felony as defined in § 53.1-203
http://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/53.1-203/, and means you'll do 1-10 years in prison.
They may also decide to revoke your weekend jail sentence and give you a straight sentence, meaning you do all your remaining time 24/7 for however many weeks you have left. This also means that you may lose your job or flunk your classes.
Beyond that, which strike is this for you? If they don't ding you with prisoner in possession of a controlled substance, first-time possession in Virginia is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail, which will be time you'll wind up doing on top of your existing sentence. Second offenses are a Class 1 misdemeanor, which can land you a year in jail.
You should consult with a lawyer immediately to make sure that you don't get served up with a felony charge.
