That is unfortunate, but fwiw, the human subject approval usually isn't too hard if it's not a medical or psychological test you're doing. The point is to be aware of potential risks of the test and assure the subjects have given informed consent. I went through the human subjects approval process for my thesis, (which originally was going to be a study via interviews and surveys,) and since the potential risk to my subjects was nearly nil, the approval wasn't difficult to get.
