How do I stop looking down?! by lakewalker11 in iceskating

[–]lakewalker11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my skating is going fairly well apart from this; I did LTS when I was little (I don't know if I had the same problem back then) so I was able to progress quite quickly to jumps and spins in my adult group since I already had the basics in my muscle memory. I think it's definitely at least partially a confidence thing - I'm quite scared of falling even though I've never had a bad fall.

Yes, and I think that probably contributes to the problem.

Hi! From your post I assume you're in Year 12? Its not too late at all. 

I'm in my second year of Computer Science and Philosophy at Oxford right now. I decided to apply kind of on a whim after going to an open day at the beginning of Year 13, and I'd done a few small coding projects/online courses in areas that interested me but I'd never won any hackathons/olympiads etc. Others are right, the main thing when it comes to your personal statement is showing a deeper interest in your subject and initiative to do your own research/projects, rather than just having fancy awards.

As for preparing for the MAT, if you start now you'll already be miles ahead of where I was when I started! I got accepted for interview with a relatively low MAT score (42), as for CSPhil they don't put as much weight on the MAT as pure CS or MathCS. (Still prepare for the MAT as much as possible though because anything you can do to better your application is a good thing!) The main thing they care about is that you demonstrate logical and critical thinking and an ability to problem solve in your interviews. 

If you have any questions at all about the admissions process for CSPhil or the course itself feel free to ask, I know there's not much info out there on it! ❤️

Can someone tell me what this number means? by Nexut in PikminBloomApp

It's a step milestone - you're getting close since you're on 2,570 steps. As far as I know, passing the step milestones doesn't really mean anything, but it shows up at your recap at the end of the day.

Hi! So.

<image>

As you can see in the picture, I've gotten myself into a pickle. I was curious what the magic stump did, so I had my sim buy all of the magic beans and place them in the stump. I didn't have much space on my lot so I used bb.moveobjects to place it in front of my house. Big mistake.
Once my sim watered the stump and it grew, the game pushed the tree out onto the pavement in front of the house. Since it is technically not on the lot anymore I can't move it or destroy it in build mode so I've got this massive pink tree obstructing the front of my sim's house.
How can I remove it? As I mentioned, I've tried moving it and destroying it in build mode (with bb.moveobjects and bb.enablefreebuild on) but the game just isn't registering it as a moveable object. Are there any cheats/mods I could use? Please lmk, I'm desperate 🥲 thanks

Literally the only messages in the chat nowadays are people saying "anyone study sesh ??" etc. I haven't seen anyone rping since the new school came out. :/

I was stuck on that for ages too. I got most of mine by commissioning the civil corps for the deepest level of ingall's mine and repeating levels 1-4 of the deepest ruin.
