I totally agree with middlemarcher on this point... I might be completely wrong here, but you mention your respect for this professor and how you hope that she will notice you and remember you in a positive light. There are strong parallels between the student teacher relationship and the parent child relationship. Consequently some of the emotions that we feel/felt for our parents can resurface and be directed forwards a teacher. I just wonder if that might be a factor here. If you feel that is a possibility perhaps you could chat with your T about it.
