Use the experience to cultivate resilience, and be thankful that your instructor puts safety above other pressures. You're presumably at least a tertiary-equivalent CPL student or similar, and should be actively involved in managing your own training and destiny. No problem putting a strawman plan on the table, including a possible solo session. As Fantome said, you're not 9 years old - don't expect spoon feeding, and work with your instructor to make it all happen when you've reached the required standard and the conditions are suitable.

In any career things won't always go as planned, and flexibility and the ability to bounce back are important life skills. Professional aviation, of all careers, surely needs resilience in bucket loads.
