Sorry to the people who like that book, but honestly, anything that started as a fanfic for Twilight can't be good. Twilight was bad enough.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that Twilight was Anne Rice fanfic, which in turn comes across as some spectacularly poor Bram Stoker fanfic. Thus rendering 50 Shades fanfic of fanfic of fanfic. No wonder the only relevant shade of grey here is slate.

So today was a day of good news and bad news.
It starts with the bad news of oversleeping this morning, waking up fifteen minutes before class starts.
The good news is that it was only the second class in the course, and I already know the things our teacher is going to tell first.
The bad news is that halfway to class, my bike chain fell off. Now instead of being 15 minutes late, I was 45 minutes late, damn it.
The good news is, I had already cycled all the way uphill when it broke.
The bad news is, after the morning class I still needed my bike to go downtown for the next class, and I discovered this five minutes before the class started. The good news is, a fellow student lent me her bike, so I was able to race down there and only be 15 minutes late instead of the 45 minutes it would have taken with public transport.
The bad news is, my bike still had a loose chain, and the nearest repair shop was at least five kilometers away. The good news is, someone was able to help me put the chain back on, so I was able to go home for a shower and then back to the university.
The bad news is, on the way back the chain came off again. The good news is, I was right next to the train station, so I could easily get back to the university.
The bad news is, my public transport subscription got cancelled by those incompetents at the student financing administration. The good news is, nobody checked my ticket.
And then I had my graduation ceremony for my bachelor's. Woohoo!
Zingoleb:
What's wrong with your bike? When the chain came off of mine it was just a simple task of putting it back on (which was mostly distasteful because it got my hands oily).
Omega Entity:
Older or well-used bike chains can actually stretch, and sometimes require taking a link out of the chain and putting it back together, or getting a new chain.
Carl-E:
I'm guessing this is a derailleur-less bike, and so doesn't have a tensioner on the chain? Much harder to deal with.
