Introduction and admission ~ Com410D

I've said this before in another blog for another class -I'm not particularly thrilled with blogging. But I must admit I am really excited about this course on Gender Communications.
It is a sad fact that I manage to communicate really well with animals, but I struggle with humans of either gender...so if anyone needs this education, I do. Animals are so predictable, you know? Typically an animal will vary their behavior (their communication) by degree, but for the most part there aren't any mixed messages, manipulation or psychological war-fare - as can be the case with humans.
For me, I find myself over-analyzing just about every single relationship I have - whether it be my own marriage, my relationship with my boss or even the 3 minutes with the cashier at the grocery store. I wonder if what I said was offensive or impressive or obsessive (heh), if I made her or him feel thisway or thatway. I hope that I made the right impression and that I appeared genuine (but was I really being genuine?). I wonder if I was too distant or too forward, too flirty or too cold. I even do this when I send an email.

Yes, I can really use this class.
