<human>: So a little bit of background. I've been working on my thesis for the last year, while at the same time working on the business me and my girlfriend created. My counsellor kinda screwed up a month ago an I basically had to redo the whole thing, with the deadline being the end of February.

At the beginning of January, and because everything was going as planned, she booked a trip back home (3000km away) to celebrate a family holiday, and asked me to go too on the second week she'd be there. I agreed, got excited, made plans and booked the flight.

After I realised that I had to redo everything in such a short time, I started to panic. I started working exclusively on my thesis from 7AM to 01AM everyday, and she took care of getting our products shipped. Eventually, she took the flight back home, and because I drove her so early in the morning, it completely screwed up my schedule. And that's what I didn't count on - that there would be days when I wouldn't be at full productive capacity and things would get delayed.

Fast forward to this Friday. My counsellor called with more corrections and told me we had to schedule a meeting this Tuesday. He has a very, very limited availability and since I'd only come back a week before the deadline, it would be too tight. So I told my girlfriend about this and she said she'd understand, even though she'd be sad. Saturday, I cancelled the flight to at least make some money back. And then I told her about that.

She still expected me to come, and when I told her I canceled the flight, she basically made it sound like it was all my fault, and that I didn't really want to go. I wish I could make it up to her, and I feel powerless for being so far away. What do you suggest?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
