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

That makes sense, unless you bring your LEGO to university.
That was probably the same with me as well, but I was 12 at the time.
Good idea. I hope it works out for you.
Ah, I see. I guess you would have to sort it even further by individual piece, which might take up a lot of space. That's understandable, back when you didn't have as much money to spend as a kid and could only get Bionicles for birthdays or Christmas.
There is too much LEGO to bring to university, unless I don't bring anything else
I guess you're 2 years older than I. Makes sense What even is your nationality/continent/whatever, by the way you post at cryptic hours
I'm also conflicted if I want to have my sorted bags of LEGO out in the open or if I want to hide them in drawers Anyway this will presumably be a project for after I move out of my parents' house. I think as a kid I would use my own money on bionicles and for birthday and Christmas I would get like $80 themed sets like Star Wars and Indiana Jones and whatnot
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.

Very relatable. I can do a lot of things, but never enough time to do them. Ooh, nice. What kind of Technic pieces did you find? Wow, that's a pretty busy schedule. Is it possible to just sit in with the class and just not receive credits for it? That way you won't have to worry about the workload or exams and still be able to go to the class. Ah, yes, the red blood cell modeling, I remember you telling me about that. Oh, the GREs. I remember doing the GRE. I think I did well on the math and decent on the Reading and Writing portions. Agreed, a paint to study for. Very cool, I'm sure you'll really enjoy that. Maybe you'll be the one to help advance the cure for the virus.
I literally have a list of things I need/want to do and it's basically a whole sheet of paper
I'd say it was a good mix of early 2000s stuff, a few of those weird lavender and aquamarine pieces from then - honestly no clue what theme they even were - maybe something with robotics. My favorite is alternate colors to common pieces.
It's not really a class - so unfortunately not an option. I'll see what I can figure out, I've also got some stuff with coronavirus modeling potentially on the table. I keep busy
I'll study a bit for the general GRE then take it in like June I guess while the online option exists due to the pandemic. I did well on the ACT in high school and I'm assuming I haven't become THAT much dumber since then so hopefully the skills transfer. I just need to make sure I understand the rubric for the writing portions, as I recall not doing so hot on the writing part of the ACT - though I got a high score on the English. Baffling I'm hoping schools waive the GRE math subject test requirement, as most applicants in my year probably haven't taken it yet, as we lost the opportunity to do so in April, meaning there would only be one opportunity in the fall - unless ETS comes up with some contingency plan. Can't say I want to sit in a room with a bunch of other people for 3 hours to take a test during a pandemic though... hopefully they can do it online - they literally have a webcam proctor so it's not like you can really cheat any more easily than in person.
I must say I would not have anticipated you posting so much

It comes with a life of hiding indoors and being conveniently homeschooled.
That is relatable, I was homeschooled basically all my pre-adult life. The MBs provided me with a social outlet so I'm not entirely incompetent in interacting with humans (though I am a math major so I have an excuse)
