Too much estrogen! Women! Ahh!

Well not too long ago I posted on here that I've coped well with a class full of women, that is, until today - eight months into my program!

Here's the deal. Last week we had a health fair which we volunteered at for community service requirements in our program. One girl had her picture taken and she made a "goofy" look on her face. I told her I'm going to have that picture put on during pinning, and she laughed about it.

No big deal, right? Fun and games!

Today I had my pictures from the health fair developed and she found out I showed other people the photo. I put it on the door as a joke. Hey, we're all "family," right? I've never had runins with anyone in my class, and this particular female and I have gotten along quite well in the program. But then she comes up to me, "REALLY? PUTTING IT ON THE DOOR?" I of course apologized to her - three times - saying I NEVER intended to embarrass her. Then, when it was time to "start class," she left. I later found out she was leaving, and as she walked away, was crying.

Really? Crying? WHAT?

She POSED for the photo. LAUGHED when it was taken. GOOFED OFF with everyone else, and let me mention, she wasn't the only one with the "goofy" nursing student pictures, myself and several others had some, too.

Ahh, estrogen.. I understand she was embarrassed, but running off in tears? I am baffled, because her reaction to TAKING the photo and the reaction WITH the photo were completely different. Lexapro, anyone? Ugh... am I just an insensitive jerk or do women just routinely wear their feelings on their sleeves?

Sorry, had to vent.. thanks for listening.
