• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I'm new to this situation, so I would think that you would call somebody a week prior, a couple of weeks prior to the situation to discuss it, not 30 minutes before.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: So she told me she would ask the school if they can reschedule it so she can have more time to speak to me.

• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: So remember, I had tried to get in the meeting.

  SPEAKER_00: I went into the meeting because I didn't know, I hadn't heard, and it was 30 minutes before, and you know how what they do.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: So the email said she had canceled the meeting, and to give her like some days and times that I'm available.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: I asked her to let me know when they're available, and I would give a yes or a no.
