thought of ways to reconcile the connection with the professor which had been lost.

You should get to your professor's office an hour before he gets there and just wait. Do this every day throughout the semester. It shows dedication. Kind of like when John Cusak holds the boombox outside Ione Skye's window in the 1989 romantic classic "Say Anything". When he get's there make sure not to bring up class work or school at all. Keep it casual. Bring him some wrapped up food from the hot bar in the dining hall. This relationship is salvagable my man.
