Okay...Okay Sorry Part II

HA two posts in one day....if I keep this up I should be caught up by March.

In Part 1 I mentioned a conference, well yesterday I went to said conference and two things happened. First off one of my profs was there. Yep traveled 2k + miles to give a talk, didn't tell me he was going to be there (found out from my French profs), and when I introduced myself he said Hi....that was it. Maybe it is because I am from small town Iowa, but when a student is studying abroad and a represenative from the university travels that distance don't you think it is rude not tell the student that this prof is coming. Plus, he is here for 3 or 4 days and didn't invite me for coffee or lunch. Now I guess I am probably alone on this, but wouldn't you think as a member of the university they would want to know how the student is doing, is he having any problems, how is semester is going, concerns, etc. Nope, Hi and that is it. Bastard.

Also at this conference I randomly got myself into something that I am not sure I should have. I said hi to a lady that I thought I had in one of my mediation classes last month. I had already saw another one so thought maybe a couple had come to this conference. After the conference we chatted some and I saw her name on a business card she gave me. I began thinking maybe this wasn't who I thought it was, she looked slightly different and had a different name then I thought she had. We chatted some more then she asked me to give a presentation to her law firm about the American mediation process. I said that I wasn't sure, I hadn't really taken any classes on the subject, etc. but she kept on insisting, so I gave her my card and she said she would call me. When I returned to my apartment I looked up the classmates name and sure enough it wasn't her. So to recap everything...I met a random person thinking she was someone else, was invited to give a presentation to a group of French lawyers, on a subject I don't know. Yet I am still going to go and give the presentation. I just have to find out what the hell Transitive Mediation is.
