Ruby Granger #35 Hello, it's Flu-bee!

It appears that she's reading The Queen's Gambit for the first time again.

Any guesses on when she'll start adopting Beth's identity by pretending to be a child chess prodigy, the next Magnus Carlsen?

didn't he cheat? I remember hearing about it somewhere... I think it was on one of the shows with Stephen Colbert or John Oliver (I always forget his name and think it's Jamie Oliver lol)

Her university most likely used the ECTS credits system, where you typically complete classes making up 60 credits per year. In early years of my degree I took 12 classes a year each being worth 5 credits each but in final year I had 20 credit modules which had a bigger workload and more contact hours. It’s pretty common in the UK afaik. Ruby did a l dissertation module, and they’re usually worth more than a typical 5 credit module.

As an aside, extra curriculars and societies aren’t as important in the UK as they seem to be in the US. Most people just do them for fun. It’s not important to compete at a sport at any level and no employer would give a shit whether you did or not. It’s still silly to list sports on your LinkedIn though, regardless of whether you were competitive or not.

That's more or less how it is

As an Exonian, we don't really use the ECTS system but it's an equivalent (120 credits = 60 ECTS) and dissertations are worth 30 credits, because it's a 2 term (2 semester) module and it's very easy to rack up credits at Exeter, compared to some unis in Europe with either taking multiple 3 credit or 6 credit modules in order for it to add up to 60.

I have not watched the video yet, but that's nothing unusual if she does part time. Which I think she said at some point. If you don't teach the first hour of a day, you just leave at like 9, and other days you might be teaching from 8 to 5 or whatever.

Spoiler: off topic

Oh fair enough I forget that some schools let you work from home in free periods! Jealous, I don't teach until the afternoon on Mondays but have to be in

I’m sure I’m giving Ruby too much credit by even thinking this thought, but what if she’s sticking with Ruby Granger for social media so her profiles won’t show up if her students/colleagues/the admissions office at Oxford google her real name? When you google Ruby Bones, the only thing related to her that shows up is her LinkedIn profile (although of course google suggests “Ruby Bones Granger), and while she mentions her yt channel on there, she doesn’t mention the name of it.

Its possible and somthing i will keep in mind for sure

What Spare is about though?
