Oh OP 
I can only imagine how shitty that must be. All I can say is try to distract yourself as much as you can. The classics section on here is great and worth a read if you don't feel up to much.
Oh. And go get yourself some movicol 
your induction when it happens may leave you erm, a little bunged up if you opt for certain types of pain relief.

Don’t worry, try to relax. Babies come when they are ready!
My third baby was overdue and in the end I went into labour naturally at 14 days overdue. When she came out she didn’t look overdue at all, I think she just wasn’t ready earlier. Due dates are just a guess really. There’s things you can do to help your body along, like going for a walk. I know it must be hard that they keep cancelling it but this time next week you’ll have your baby and this will all be forgotten

No they don't. 
And in the mean time, the placenta starts to break down. Which is why people who chose not to get induced, need daily scans on their placenta.
There's medical reasons why we induce at a certain time and that's because babies don't always come when they are ready.

Oh OP
I'm sure you've already thought of this, but is it the only hospital or unit locally? Is there any chance if you call and sob hysterically they could maybe try and get you in somewhere else?
And because I'm nosey, have you picked a name for your little girl ?

Hopefully it will get going soon enough.
I have had 4 inductions and never needed the drip and had unassisted deliveries so no horror stories from me
