I can see why for someone like you who doesn't edit all the time it would be difficult but also it sounds like you're trying your absolute best to do a good job and to ensure you make your video anything but sloppy. Rubore on the other hand is making a shed load of cash and seems too 'bone' idle to bother to do a good job.
I don't think she'll expect that for a long time. That would mean she will continuously be looking forward to her job until she's in the classroom. I think as soon as she started to prepare some content to teach, she began to feel nervous, and then before the job starts that feeling will turn into numerous panic attacks. Remember how she even had a panic attack because she was seeing too many people of her own family?
I wonder why she hasn't given any planners away to her old school where she is currently working as it would make sense for her to do this but as far as we know she hasn't. However, the fact that she has to keep doing giveaways just shows how badly her planner has sold as people don't want it for a number of reasons IMO: 1. The planner is too expensive for people to buy and 2. The planner is very similar to last years.
Ruby would absoloutely crumble under the college system. Firstly, the social aspect. You are absoloutely expected to participate in college life, which she would probably be too anxious to embrace, but also I can't imagine her having to write multiple 2k word essays every week and emerge from the experience mentally well. It would legit lead to her having a breakdown and having to drop out.
Me too! I will never forget the experience of reading Fingersmith. I've read three of SW's books and am hesitant to read the others in case she never writes anything else and I run out
I agree with this, especially if they’re paying her. Private schools are businesses, and they’re not going to want to pay money to an adult who can’t be left alone with a class. If it was work experience or an unpaid internship that would be different, but that doesn’t seem to be how Ruby is describing it. I’d expect her to be shadowing an experienced teacher for the first couple of weeks or so, but after that they’ll want her to pull her weight.
It does probably feel very much Anne of Green Gables for Ruby tho. She seems to be all about being an unmarried Jo March type image, so being called Miss probably floats her boat.Idk about the US but to be honest, I genuinely think most people in the UK have never even thought about the whole Miss/Mrs thing lol. Some people prefer Ms and so use that instead, but most couldn’t give a shite and it’s defo not considered right wing or evangelical to call yourself Miss/Mrs.
On the note of fake freckles, wouldn't someone with real freckles say 'no these are real freckles' if asked to drop their fake freckle routine?
Yeah, I agree to this! I hesitated to comment Rubys watercolor "art" before. (It felt immature to mock that and I pitied too much to criticise) But I should admit I felt more comfortable about my attempts of art after seeing her paintings
I’m English haha but thanks for the explanation, I asked because I went to a RG uni and have just looked now and lots of people high up in certain departments didn’t go to Oxford or Cambridge and it hasn’t seemed to stop them from making it in academia. Am sure an oxbridge degree is advantageous in some ways but there are lots of other routes And unis that would be a better fit for many applicants including probably Ruby and wouldn’t stop anyone from carving out the life they want, it’s a shame she and others become so fixated on oxbridge and attach their identity to it in a way that is unhealthy. Lots of other unis are very picturesque and have great courses and give the dark academia vibe that seems to make studying more enjoyable for her, I know lots of successful people with degrees from other RG unis, it’s a shame people view getting into oxbridge as a be all and end all and an end in itself when life and careers are about sooooo much more. I think it would be so healthy for Ruby to get a different perspective on all this and I say this as someone similar to her in lots of ways when I was growing up
He accused his opponent Hans Niemann of cheating. It was more dramatic than Roobie's poetry readings.
RIght? I certainly don't feel pressured to go out if I am exhausted. Its ok to be scared, like she seems to be, but I do think that she should work on that rather than normalise being a shut-in.
I love your honesty & echo my own feelings exactly. Super big thumbs up
