This is doing my head in

xt1meThe play starts on the 12th but we have to be in the CAT Club on the Sunday before that to have enough time to set up the stage, have a tech rehearsal and a dress rehearsal.
This would be fine except I'm still on work experience and I'm doing shift work. So I have to make sure I've got all morning sifts that week, which is fine but it might mean swapping with people which is yet another inconvenience for me.
I wouldn't mind so much but we were only supposed to have TWO WEEKS work experience and now there's a rumour that we are actually doing all ELEVEN weeks. Which also means when we go back to finish the course we'll have to slot into another class so we wont be finished until November possible December.
This is such a mickey mouse operation.
The date for this play was organised at the start of the year, long before I heard of this course. I am the stage manager, I can't just drop it. And It would be fine if the original schedule was followed, it was going to be an assignment week so at least there's no homework. Even the newer schedules would have worked. I'd be doing an actual module but my evenings would be free. But No, just like how they sprung the start of this course on us, they have dumped this on us and expected us to be happy with it.
Look, I can handle a lot of things, and everything is still possible, but all these little things are adding together into one giant mess. It's not the work I'm doing for the work experience, that's fine, they may be getting free slave labour but at lest we're still on part time hours. It's the fact that none of us know what's going on. We had already started the work experience when you first started rearranging us and you still haven't finalised anything.
I wanted to do at lest two different companies, now I hear we have to do it all here. The only thing stopping me from just dropping this job is because all the companies I've tried to get work experience from never even got back to me, but originally I would have had a lot more time to chase after them.
I've still got projects to hand up. I've finished as much as I can but some of them require class work that I don't see myself getting no matter how much you mix up the schedule.
I can't wait for this headache of a course to be over with. I know you're busy trying to accommodate everyone but if you had organised this properly in the first place we wouldn't be in this mess. It's not like anything we have to do is especially difficult but you lot are just screwing us around now and it's getting worst.
