Ah, very cool. Like, stuff with arduinos and stuff like that?
Well I want to do stuff with guitars, so similar idea but less involvement with computers. Mainly just complicated arrangements with capacitors and all the other little parts. I have an interest in electrical engineering stuff so might as well teach myself

Ah, I see. Is it kind of about analog filters and stuff like that? It's definitely a great way to start Electrical Engineering.
Yeah, I guess so. I'm doing architecture, but at the same time creative writing is my favorite thing to do, so I guess we'll see what happens with my major when I make it to college...
Ah yeah. Well the good thing is that you can usually write without a degree. Right now I'm thinking I'll major in Psychology and become a case worker... who knows, I still have some time
Yeah, I'm thinking I'll probably publish my first book before the time I would have ended up with a degree anyway. That sounds cool!
Thanks. Yeah, same. Well, not really... I actually haven't thought about animals in my story until you mentioned it... I'm not very good at making up animals. However, have you read The Wingfeather Saga? It's an AMAZING book series that I totally recommend reading and it's got nothing bad or unfit for any age in it so that makes it even more awesome. Well anyway, the author is super creative and he comes up with his own animals so much that he even has a creaturepedia for his fictional world. It's really funny.
That's good, I suppose. Ah yes, very well. Gotta have those bragging rights that you took a pretty demanding course.
Ooh, very cool. I was on MLN, but I didn't know of the LMBs. I had only gotten up to rank 4 on MLN I think.
Lol, that's alright. I suppose LMBE will have to do.
You're welcome. I hope despite everything that's happened you get the credits you need! Ah, very nice. I'm guessing you're gonna try to sort by piece type or function eventually? That's good too. Very helpful for restoring old sets.
Seems late to be applying for that. But good luck I'm seeing if I can find any more things to do this summer myself.
I got rank 10 on MLN, of course. Considered doing a trading shop for it but never got around to it
Yup, got my credits and all As... gotta have that high GPA for PhD programs...
I'm not entirely sure how I should best sort honestly, I'd appreciate your ideas. It's all in bags by individual piece type currently.
-benboy
Yeah, it's kind of late, but at least it's available. I see. Mostly stay in and sort LEGO, I'm guessing?
Awesome. Ah, I see. I'm sure it would've been a very busy trading shop since you were already high ranking.
Congratulations! One step closer to PhD!
Let's see, my LEGO collection is currently sorted by function/type of piece and attachment points. For example, I have all of my click-hinges in one compartment and my bar and clip related connections in another compartment. I also have compartments for different kinds of small pieces, such as 1x1 plates, 1x1 tiles, etc, since those are harder to find in a big bucket. In a small bin I have all of my SNOT and bracket pieces since those are handy to have in one place. Since most of the MOCs I make are about function, I have all of my functional parts sorted so that it's easier for me to find. Other than that, I have all of my 1xn plates in one place and 2xn plates in another place. Your mileage may vary depending on what you have in your LEGO collection, how much space you have, and your storage options. I'm pretty lucky to have visited IKEA quite a few times and picked up myself some sorting trays to make it easier.

So that'll be a no. Done by Andrew Peterson? They sound very cool. Oh if you're into animal dooks I suggest The Guardians of Ga' Hoole.
Yep, that's the author! He's literally so amazing and I could go on and on about his books and music and such all day! Ooh, that sounds cool too.
50% is a C in Physical Sciences in Australia (which is basically an amalgamation of Chemistry and Physics for 11th graders, which leads on to Chemistry and/or Physics in year 12).
WAT! 85% is a B for us! O_O I now question my grade in Chemistry.
And this is arguably why the US has one of the worst education systems.
