my gawd, give the lady some slack. She is stressed, the Ash Cloud devastated her plans, she needs to do well even with the pressure she is under because this is her future security (her education) she is working on. For a man, going to dinner is not the production a lady has to go through to get ready. It takes planning and co-ordination beyond a 25 minute trip there and back that she could be concentrating on her tasks that she has such a tight schedule.
support her during this time by not distracting her. She isn't ducking you. But if you press and pressure, she will have cause to doubt if you have her needs in mind.

Pffft, is this something that we just have to push through and will get better as soon as the workload is reduced?
exactly! when they say that a relationship is built on 'give and take' this is the time you
give. Be supportive, think of ways you can help her, call a delivery for take out of her favorite dinner to be delivered to her so she can have a good meal. Leave her a message or two on her voice mail with encouragement and good wishes, but make no obligation that she has to call you back, it's just a smile on the phone. Later, in your relationship, she will always remember what a good sport you were to just chill when she had to power it out.
