Was the other student working on the same project? "With this" seems an odd choice of words if they were working on something else, her project or portion instead of yours.
He could have been berating himself, since he knew "she" was going to have problems; maybe he was disgusted with himself (as it sounds like he should be more often :-) because he didn't act on his knowledge and make sure things were running more smoothly.

No, it was definitely about me. I was there for about 20 minutes as their meeting went on, easier for me to stay than for my friend to have to come and give me the computer in the other office when she had it worked out. They did some talking about her project, and he did a lot of trying to find contact information for someone they both knew. There was no other 'she' or 'her' that he could have been talking about.
Maybe he was berating himself. I will have to let that thought sit and see how it feels. Whether or not it feels right. It feels like it would be nice to think he was being hard on himself for once.
