Ooh, very nice! I like the cardboard dividers you've made for the small drawers. Very good use of space. I'm gonna predict though that you'll probably need more room for the common pins like the black 2-long and the blue 3-long pins.
Hmm, I see. I've heard the most about ODEs so far in my college career and not very much on PDEs, so that's probably why since ODEs are probably more used, though hopefully there's something in PDEs that may be helpful as well. MATLAB is probably the best option, especially when you have to work with matrices of data. Python can do the same things that MATLAB can do, but I find that Python has a lot more syntax rules and things that can go wrong when you least expect it. The other day I was doing some Python homework and I managed to put in a matrix as an element of another matrix and it messed up the dimensions what I was going to do. As for R, I'm not too familiar with it, but I've heard some things about it.
Cool. I wish you the best of luck in studying for the GRE.
Dude, in my OG organizational system it was all cardboard trays I made from old lego boxes because I was too cheap to buy anything Then I realized that was a pain and scrapped that. Still have the trays, just no longer in use. For whatever odd reason because of those roof designs I have a ton of black 2-long pins in some other bags I haven't sorted yet - I put all the black and dark red pieces in one place to be used on my spaceship... I think I may have more of the black 3-long pins than the blue, honestly. We'll find out eventually. I think I'll try to put all my technic pieces in those drawers pictured, I feel that may work better than bags. I'll have to experiment, perhaps this will be a project for this afternoon.
PDEs of course have different uses, as of course sometimes you need a multivariable function, but I believe most PDE analysis comes down to breaking your differential equation into a system of ODEs. Yes, Matlab is much more user-friendly, perhaps my best option. We'll see what my advisor recommends I do next. If I get the time I also have a nice book on fractal dynamics with some pseudocode, so it'd be fun to run that on Matlab. (I love fractals) I remember for intro Java we had to do a lot with multidimensional matrices, it was sometimes a little weird to visualize but definitely useful. I have another Java course in the fall (need it for my degree), I wonder what we'll have to do for that. R is more statistical, but honestly it's a lot like Matlab but with probability tools heavily built in. You can run simulations very easily - it's a lot of fun.
Might study some tonight. Need a break

That's a great use of recycling the LEGO Boxes as trays, even though it didn't seem to work out. Nice, already sorting the parts you're going to use in your MOCs as well. That's efficient. I also have more black 3-long pins than blue ones, although as we get more sets I think blue is the new standard. Awesome. I hope it went well. Technic is quite focused on the parts usage to make a function work, so sorting them by piece seems very useful.
Ah, I see. Sounds pretty tricky, but I guess for you it's not too bad. Ah, very nice. MATLAB is definitely very user-friendly and easy to use. Ooh, that sounds fun making fractals in MATLAB. Java is a good language to learn as well, and it's also pretty user-friendly as well, so I'm sure you'll find it interesting. Very interesting about R. Maybe one day I'll take a look at it and see if it'll be useful.
Oof. When did you go to bed, and what did you end up drawing? Awesome! Congratulations Aurora! What are your plans for summer?
I ended up going to bed at 3am and drawing a character from a manga I can't mention lol. I don't really have any plants this summer (they all got cancelled ) except for getting a job again.
Wow. That's pretty late. At least you probably had some fun drawing it.
Oh. I see. Yeah, that's unfortunate, but hopefully you'll still be able to get a job.
Dude saaammmeee. I have severe social anxiety, but I think interacting with people here for years really helped build up my confidence. Funny how that works.
I tried to become an extrovert but that just didn't work I think a combination of talking to people here as a teen and doing public speaking class helped me out a lot. But I'm pretty introverted, sometimes it's a struggle to even find the energy to type replies to people
-benboy
Public speaking class, that's cool. Maybe I should give that a shot in college. I get that. I've been taking days off more often here, 'cause some days my brain's just like "nope". It's very cool to see more people coming back for summer vacation/quarantine, though. xD
I'd probably run around in a T-shirt or something in your winter.
That would make sense. And I would wear a lot of layers during my winter. It gets kind of annoying, but it's warm with lots of layers.
Heh, makes me think of my mom. For the longest time she had a hard time getting out in the German winters because she was accustomed to the massive heat waves in Taiwan where she grew up. Now that we're in the US, in an apparently ironic twist of fate, she has a hard time getting out to exercise in the American heat because she got used to the cooler German weather. xD (Although Germany was definitely dryer, it's nicer to find more moisture in the air here. )
Now that school is over, I have little to no structure to my day. On one hand, that's really fun and I get to do whatever I want, but my brain doesn't let me work like that. It freaks out and I get restless and anxious, because I'm happiest when I have some type of job or activity to do and I'm accomplishing something. I wish I could just enjoy being lazy and not feel sick to my stomach and sad about nothing. >_>
Hmm. I see. You always need to be doing something in order to feel like your day was worth it or satisfied, I suppose. What kinds of activities do you plan on doing this summer?
Writing, drawing, basically the biggest projects concern me sitting at my desk, and I can't just sit all day every day. <.< Filmmaking takes time and I need Mock's help... So I need to find more activities. Thankfully my driving training's been consistent and we can go out to the lake and hiking trails every once in a while. I've also been learning new flip tricks with my butterfly knife and I might just possibly be able to learn how to throw knives this summer.
If you learn the rule that people with loads of money and political power can basically do whatever the brick they want regardless of morals, laws, and human rights, and that'll just about sum up the cause of half the world's problems, I think.
More very true and wise words from the amazing Sensei Tigress.
Then I realized that was a pain and scrapped that.
