This is a good representation of myself compared to not only Segovia, Spain, but the entire world. I am just one very small person when compared to the world. When one is absorbed in their everyday life for an extended period of time without anything new or different, it is hard to remember that we are each just a tiny piece of the puzzle. It is such a refreshing awakening to be reminded that the world is much more massive than my ordinary life back in Franklin, or Culleoka, or Murfreesboro, Tennessee. 

This represents my goals for speaking Spanish. I want to break the door down, and let myself in. It is going to be difficult, considering there are steel bars barcading it. But, with enough effort and time, I know I will achieve my goal. It's hard to remember that at times, but I try to keep telling myself this. Hopefully, within a few weeks, or months, I will look back at this picture and feel accomplished. 

  This is how I feel about the Spanish language right now. There is a wall and steel bars keeping me from getting in. I don't understand nearly as much as I would like. At a good moment, I probably only understand about 50% of what people are saying. I understand more when it is an American speaking Spanish. But, when I listen to the Spaniards, I get really frustrated because I can't understand very much through their accents. Frustration is even a bit of an understatement. By the end of the day, my brain is so overloaded with new words, and sounds, that it can't handle anything else. So, another interpretation of this picture, is how my brain is at the end of the day. Nothing else can get in.
