I can't believe this......

Backround info: A little under a year ago, a former friend and I ended our friendship to an argument, and no longer speak.
Well, on February 2, there is this thing that us sophomores have to do, and it's shawdowing someone who's currently doing the career you would like to do later in life (career shadowing. where you can see what that person does for that career)
I want to be a pharmacist, but as I recall, this former friend wants to be a doctor.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

For this career shadowing thing, I told my boss about it last week, and she helped me arrange it.
Later on, she tells me there is this boy who wanted to shadow a doctor, but on that day, there will be no doctor shadows, so he MIGHT have to shadow a pharmacist with me, if he could be "snuck" in.
So, then she goes on to mention that this boy goes to the same school as me. I asked her if she knew his name. Well, lo and behold, it was the name of my former friend!!! :eek:
I'm all like, "oh, I know who he is!", because of course I didn't want the boss to know about some stupid argument.
After I heard his name, I got worried. Then I started thinking, "How's he going to react towards me? Will he be mean? Nice? Or just ignore me?"
This was plaging me all that night.
I'm just hoping he'll ignore me and leave it at that. Even better, maybe they won't be able to have him shadow a pharmacist with me, and he'll have to wait till April to shadow a doctor!! :)
Now I'm a little nervous about going. Maybe I shouldn't be. He might not even come anyways!!! (I hope he doesn't!)

if he comes at all i'm 99% sure he'll ignore you... so i wouldn't worry about it if i were you

also you can go into it with the attitude that you're the one who really deserves to be there and he's invading your "turf" :lol:... since he'll be following a pharmacist instead of a doctor, he might have the same impression

anyway, since there's not much you can do about it i wouldn't worry about it. just don't show nervousness and *he'll* be the nervous one :D

Just remember, this is something you want to do for yourself. Why should you care if he's with you or not cause you need to be in this for yourself. Even if he is there and he doesn't ignore you, try to remain professional and do what you need to do to gain the knowledge and experience that you need to get ahead. It's possible he doesn't even want to fight with you or compete for anything. He may even want to make things up or start over with a friendship.

One way to get through that is to act liek what happened in the past doesn't matter to you anymore. You are here for the experience and not to get into some discussion over some past argument. :) :nod:
