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.

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.
May need a break from sorting lego, hurting my brain on the sorting
Yes, but then MLN just died out so it was kind of irrelevant
HOPEFULLY I get into a PhD, if not I'll be just getting a masters then see where the wind blows me
I originally had everything in trays I made myself, but I got annoyed with the trays, hence the bags. I was trying to then put the bags IN the trays and that kind of works but not everything fits. I have a bunch of larger tubs that I have some bags in now, but organization is poor because there's like zero friction and everything falls everywhere - and hard for me to see stuff too. I guess like I kind of know where everything is for the most part so it shouldn't be too bad to work with, but I want my lego sorting utopia. I actually have a set of like 48 small drawers I bought a while back, so I'm trying to decide what would work better in the drawers rather than in the bags. I also have a rolling cabinet with pretty shallow removable drawers I'm considering putting some bags in for accessibility. My favorite thus far is long, narrow boxes to put bags in, but it's harder to flip through and see what's in there. But I guess it's not too hard to remember what's where I guess I think I'll try sorting out a box of unsorted LEGO I have to see how well I can work with the system I've got right now. Maybe later this week.
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!
Ooh that'll be fun!! I always hoped to publish a book still in high school, but it's looking like that's not gonna happen lol. Yeah it'll be a lot of work, but I'm willing to do it.
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
-benboy
Ah, I see. Is it kind of about analog filters and stuff like that? It's definitely a great way to start Electrical Engineering.
Yes, a lot of transistors, capacitors, resistors, and inductors and whatnot. I've done the basic mathematical and physics theory behind this stuff in intro E&M physics, so I may try to read up on all the math and physics behind this stuff as I do it to help better inform me of what is actually going on when I play the electric guitar.
