Yeah, I'd normally go with the cancelling of work-for-money option, but I've only just started with some of these students and I don't like to look flaky this early on. (It was bad enough that I had to miss the first week due to an annoying cold/virus-thing without cancelling due to disorganisation as well.) Anyway, the problem seems to have been alleviated with a classic all-nighter, even if I am ridiculously tired now.
