The Russian grading system is just weird in that they grade by numbers(5,4,3,2,0--yes and not 1) letters(A,B,C,D,F), so really it's not weird at all.
I was talking about the Australian one. My family grading system varies from child to child. As the oldest child, mine is pretty much the same as yours. xD
Ah, I see. You would think skipping 1 is so weird until you realize that we skip E.
Ah, I thought you were. I'm the youngest child, but the oldest child had the same "grading system" as we do. The middle two . . . well, let's just say they've had some lucky C's to pull them through.
Well technically F stands for Fail, so we have a good reason I guess. xD
My brother is 15 months younger than me and we take the same classes sometimes, but my parents are more lenient on his grades because they don't expect him to be as good since he's y o u n g e r. (He does outperform me sometimes xD) The middle kids always have it kinda easy. xD
No I finished that class it was not particularly enjoyable but he gave us a 17 question takehome exam so I guess I learned all of complex analysis just from doing that Has its uses, I suppose. I am majoring in math, going into my final year of undergrad, and will be going to grad school in 2021, hopefully for a PhD in math. My interest is in applied math, particularly in using advanced pure math techniques in modelling situations. I also am interested in statistics and computer science and will hopefully bulk on those in grad school.

I see, that's interesting. What do you hope to do with a PhD? Something along the lines of a statistician?
Ideally I'll work as an applied mathematician in industry, but I wouldn't mind teaching as well, perhaps later on. So a job with applied math / math modelling/ stat yes
Yes, but I think it would be just easier for me to memorize the general location of everything if I group by piece type, as I'm fairly certain no such list exists already.
The thing is, you had to interact with a lot of people to get the required items on MLN, and since most of the users were inactive it was often difficult. I remember it took me a month to actually get someone to accept my friend request on there No idea why I didn't give up.
I'm pretty tired of my current university so it'll be a welcome change
I have a lot of Bionicle, it was really the first LEGO theme I got heavily into, and I was able to pick up a lot more at the flea market over the years, so I have some decent early 2000s stuff in addition to the 2007-2008 stuff I played with as a kid. However, I'm uncertain how to sort it and if it's relevant to my current building aspirations, so I just put it all in a big tub and stored it away in my attic. I have a few of my favorite Bionicles here still though, I like the one that rolls into a ball, that has to be like from 2003 I guess.

True. It will be better when grabbing pieces just comes naturally to you.
Right. It's even harder when they don't have the module you need to click on. That's a lot of patience waiting a month. I guess it was still fun anyways.
That's understandable. Hopefully the next university you go to will be fun and interesting to go to.
Ah, very cool. Those seemed to be the good old days of Bionicle. Maybe you can sort it by type of figure components, like armor pieces, limbs, weapons, etc. Ah yes, the Bohrok. I have a couple of those, although dissembled.
Except by that point I'll be going back to university so it'll be irrelevant anyway
I mean I guess I didn't have anything else to do when I was 10 in the summer of 2010
For now, I will concentrate on getting accepted before I worry about those details
I already have it mostly sorted by the type of piece (2 balls on a piece, 1 socket and 1 ball, etc.) but that's a lot of different pieces in the same category, thus I'd like to have a bit more detail in the organizational method. I was a little too young to get into Bionicle when the Bohrok and OG Toa Nuva were a thing, so I have to resort to getting it secondhand
Yeah, I hear my EE friends complain about it all the time Circuit boards aren't really my thing but who knows where I'll end up I might apply to a data science program through my university this summer, however, so that would unfortunately limit the time for hobbies.
-benboy
Pretty much. The circuit always works except when you need it to. Ah, gotcha. You'll find out if you'll get into it. Ah, that sounds good doing data science. Something along the lines of Machine Learning or something like that?
I just have too many hobbies and not enough time Did organize a bit of lego last night, however. I had a lot of technic pieces I didn't realize I even had The program seems to be geared towards underclassmen but I assume I would still learn a lot from it so I'm hoping they take me anyway. However, it's full time and I'm already doing 10-25 hours a week of stuff with work in mathematical modelling of red blood cell stuff so I'd be pretty busy - I just want a break!! I have to study for then take the general GRE as well then work on studying for the math GRE Painful One of the possible programs is AI in healthcare, but the other I'm interested in is more on analyzing data for a specific clinical study. Interesting stuff, for sure.
