I think I am delusional, forgive me!

For the past two class periods we have been viewing people's movie projects. The choices in movies have been really interesting! Some of the movies that people chose to point out interpersonal communication skills surprised me because I just never thought of those particular movies as being a great/bad example of interpersonal communication!

I guess that's what it is so funny about these movie projects. What struck me as funny was the fact that the movies that I have seen a million times have suddenly taken on a new meaning in my mind. For instance, the movie "Hitch" that Elizabeth reported on is a great example of how I have watched it a million times on t.v. and yet I have never noticed the things that Elizabeth pointed out. This class seemed kind of silly to me when I first started taking it because I thought that all of the things that we initially started talking about were common sense. All of our lives we have been taught to express our feelings and to communicate with one another in order to create a healthy relationship. But as the class has progressed I have learned many different things that I wouldn't have learned on my own without the class. It was really neat to see the different movies and how people found interpersonal communication skills in the different movie selections.

Seriously, I am not going to lie... I am super glad that I did not have to give my report on either of the past two class periods. I have had my movie project done since Easter break but for some reason I just have not wanted to get up in front of the class and present anything. Two Fridays ago I had to give a report on my short talk and that was enough for me. I am not a shy person but there is something about getting up in front of peers and talking about something that is going to give me a grade is really scary. Some people, like Whitney, are really good at public speaking but I just don't think I am. Maybe my speech class will help me overcome my public speaking fears.


I am super tired and I just want to go to sleep. Presenting on Tuesday is going to be fun... fun times. Night!
