Optimism and Pessimism

Okay so the title of this post might seem a little weird. And you're right. But hey… I like to keep it interesting. (I'll get to explaining the title in a bit).

Anyways so October 9th, yesterday, marked my one month anniversary of my arrival in Spain. And thus, I have been in Spain for a month. This statistic is fairly important until the next one comes out as it is the longest I've spent away from my parents and/or family. Well actually after the one week mark I think I'd past that. Hahaha so yeah that news is both "sad" and "happy". 

Alright so "Optimism and Pessimism". Well… I think we're all [very] familiar with the question phrase thing "is the glass half full or half empty" and various variations. Well I think that applies to my time here in Spain. But it's a bit confusing. Like I can think of my time here in many different ways and they all come out to the same but sometimes they're optimistic and other times pessimistic. 

But in reality I'm not sure how to think about my time here at the moment. I'm having a lot of sun, but also I miss my family and friends. So I happy I still have time and sad that I still have a lot of time left and sad that it's going fast and happy that is going fast. But don't worry. I don't think about this all the time. I had thought about it before but only now that I'm writing this is all these other thoughts coming out. So don't worry, I'm having a good time. 

I think by now I may have gotten my point across and now you're like wow nice title and congratulating me. Thank you. Thank you very much. 

I'm often an optimistic person with pessimistic thoughts so this isn't unusual and it goves me something to write about so cool. Anyways here are some pictures. 

Un saludo, Miguel


No I haven't turned this into a fashion blog, it's just that I thought you like to see what I wear to school each day. The uniform depends on whether I have PE or not.
