1. Therefore I am basically describing how I have been able to see things from a local point of view.
2.  I was always trying very hard to see things from their point of view and would say to myself, "it must be a Spanish thing".  I would try to not let it get to me.
3.  But now I have reasons behind the things I don't understand, therefore I can understand them better and I know mostly why they do things and even if I wouldn't do it the same way, their way also makes sense.  It is weird because I never really thought that there could be 2 ways for something to make sense. (Spanish way and American way)
4.  The intercultural class and the reading for this class has allowed me to see inside perspectives.
5.  Well, I have gotten to the point where, if something throws me off, I'll think "weird, maybe that's not how things are done here" and "I'll push it aside."
6.  I know that it has been sort of a cycle.  So the things I think like "it just must be different here" and I don't know why yet, I know that the longer I'm here, the better I will be able to understand it.  Because in that time, I can talk to Carmen about it or bring it up in intercultural class and things like that.
