Good news and Bad news
How good is good and how bad is bad?
Here is some good news and bad news since the beginning of this year:
Bad: A shooting in the neighborhood
Good: It wasn't me, and it has awakened the grad students to work with the univ admin to bring about some changes (let's install more lights, let's run more buses)
Good: It made us all introspect and be grateful and connect to each other in ways we never had before.
Bad: Some armed robberies
Good: It wasn't me, and we are having school mixers to let people know their neighbours (no you don't need to report that person as a suspicous individual hanging around the complex at night, because it turns out he is your next door neighbor you is studying starlight or something)
Bad: A paper submission got rejected. All three reviewers thought it was unworthy of the journal (How dare you?!!!)
Good: If they had accepted, then I would have had a bloated ego, and hey they say we can still submit to a "lesser" journal. Now that counts for Something.
Bad: I caught a bad cold and cough.
Good: 4 friends came to check on me over the weekend, and kept me supplied with hot beverages and curries to clear my congestion. I felt like a spoilt princess.
Bad: Looks like I am going to miss another conference submission deadline.
Good: I am working really very hard (or so I think)
Bad: I gained weight. Good: I could have gained more Bad: I Gained Weight! Good: Ummm...Maybe I'll exercise now Bad: I GAINED WEIGHT! :-(

Very interesting perspectives ! Be careful though and keep safe :)
(By the way, I dont think the last news is that bad after all...you can stand gaining a few pounds ! )
its so funny, i really like this way of putting things in perspective.
But gaining wt in lbs beyond (3*HT_in-75) is not ok :)
HT_in > 5ft. for male, formula s different.
