The following week during class break, I approached the young woman and ask her if she was able to obtain the needed material. She kindly said "No, that she wanted to purchase the book from the book store and that the book should be in the store next week". I said "That's good" and again offered to help in anyway I could, then our conversation moved smoothly onto another subject.
I guess one could say that I recovered with ease and my footprint is clean, but it was not without lesson. I found myself passing judgement upon someone that I did not even know; instead I should have been more understanding of her flight of emotions, fears, and interests.
Nice recovery and interesting perspective~
