And again...

As soon as things were beginning to look up again, I once again was completely let down. It is April 10th, there are four weeks left in the semester, and I still have yet to log any hours. This is ridiculous! Needless to say I did not get a call from Julie that Monday or the days to follow. By the end of that week I was really beginning to worry I would not find an organization to work with at all, so I contacted Monica once again. In my email I expressed my extreme distress over the lack of organization of both the Children’s Hospital and Lynbloomsten, as well as my deep concern for not having any hours thus far. She diligently emailed me back explaining her remorse for the situation and said she would contact Lynbloomsten on Monday to see what is going on, and look into other organizations I could work with. And after getting some information she would get into contact with me that same day or as soon as possible after that.
I did not hear from her on Monday. So the next day at my research paper conference with my instructor Zach Pierson and he said that if I still had not heard from Monica by the end of the week to let him know. I did not hear from her. So yesterday, Monday April 9th, I emailed Zach. And thankfully today he informed me he emailed Monica for me and would see where things were at.
While it is nice to have a little help from Zach and of course I am sure Monica is attempting to help me as well, I am very concerned for my grade. I am so nervous that the lack of organization of the two community organizations I have applied for and trained in with, will affect my grade at the end of the semester. Even if I do get started with an organization in the next week there is no way I will be able to log the hours I am supposed to have, or have much of anything to say in my final paper and presentation.
This is beyond frustrating…

Wow, I can tell how frustrated that whole experience must have been because you wrote so well. I can see the anger in your face as I read along!
Anyways, that's terrible how that worked out for you...
I volunteered and it was frustrated enough for me.
