My two cents, for what it's worth, I don't really follow much LOO philosophy any more, but I think it's fairly right on the money when it comes to accuracy truth-wise... I'm more of a law of attraction student as of late, so probably some of this advice will run along those lines.
I'd say just focus on yourself and be ok with yourself. If you remain true to your own values beliefs ideas happiness etc, then I don't think that she'll affect you. And really, the only way she can affect you is if you think about her a lot or think that the way she lives her life or what she says or thinks about you affects you in any way. What she thinks believes knows wants etc only affects you if you make it affect you and I think you could fairly easily tune her out. And since it's a situation where you have to be near her often, just let her be herself while you remain yourself. You don't have to agree with her, and maybe you guys won't end up being friends at all. If she says an opinion that you disagree with, you could be easy about disagreeing, but not needing her to see your side or anything...
