Ruby Granger #40 Ruby the linguistic terrorist

[hellodarling]

Look she’s such a grifter I wouldn’t put it past her but I’m sure that just means social media sponsorship stuff!

You're so right. Thank fuck. Haha. I genuinely felt a bit sick thinking that's what it was.

I wonder if Martha had moved back and was home with Ruby during the week their parents were on holiday. We all know Ruby is terrified of being home alone/intruders so I wonder how she coped if she was home alone during the week Mummy and Daddy were away. If Martha hadn't moved back by that point I wouldn't be surprised if someone stayed at the house to babysit stay with Ruby.

Besides her disadvantage with the subject, Ruby just seems so much more focused on her writing than her coursework.

I think she's been desperate for a book deal to magically land in her lap as an escape so she won't have to face failing at postgrad or dealing with the real world.

It'd be the perfect 'Get Out of Oxford Free' card for her, but she clearly has no concept of reality if she's expecting it to happen for her at all, let alone in the hilarious timescales she keeps expecting every time she puts it on her "SOMMAR BOCKAT LIST".

Let’s hope she’s using the end of the academic year for her make-believe to-do lists, because on the face of it, it just looks like she fucked up and put in the wrong dates Also, this just in:

I wonder why the server isn’t being used, Rootoraptor. Could it be… *drumroll’ because YOU vanished into thin air and emerged two years later frolicking on the green, sponsored fields of Fable?

Someone probably reminded her it existed I still wonder what happened to the studygram server

Ruby still has all her notes? I barely have all of mine from my BA

In the UK you don’t need to formally study Latin at school in order to do medicine, but there is Latin terminology in medicine that you will use as you progress in your studies later (at university), so it’s certainly not unhelpful!

Yes, I agree. My father is a doctor (retired surgeon) and he learnt Latin in his regular school education, and told me that in Med school, both Latin and ancient Greek were useful but not specifically taught separate to the ongoing classes. A lot of medical terms come from ancient greek apparently. For myself, in my Law degree, we learnt a lot of Latin 'legal maxims'. So while i can say certain Latin phrases and know what they mean, I can not understand Latin grammar etc. Latin can be really useful depending on what you go on to study.

I think she would always have found Oxford stressful, but she is going to find the early modern MSt way worse than if she was doing a DPhil in something she actually liked. I very reluctantly do feel sorry for her - which I hate! As I think her content is quite harmful and she’s a very insincere person. But I’ve seen a lot of people struggle in the Oxbridge environment (including good friends), and I don’t wish that on anyone.

I'm autistic and Ruby has always given me the vibes that she is neurodivergent. Women are often undiagnosed, but she could have also just lived a sheltered life.

 

[Blueglacier]

I don't think there's even anything wrong with Ruby. She's just playing a character that her YouTube references to.
Only thing is her actual personality may have become the character at this stage as well.

 

[coldestofspirits]

If she’s high it’s just from caffeine or hunger.

Isn’t summer in UK? (I’ve no idea )

It’s feeling cold as never gone from mid-20s to rainy 12-13 in a few days. TBF I boosted heating BF and had a sweater on yesterday

 

[crowleyskeeper1]

Who is even entertained/ motivated by her videos at this point?? I swear people watch her like she's a distressed tiger in a zoo doing laps in its enclosure where you're watching like "this is tragic you shouldn't be living this way" it's so depressing. I feel like if you want actually motivating content you go to Eve Bennett, and Eve Cornwell (even tho she seems to have given up YouTube and can be a bit cringe) bc at least they did something with their studying and grades

Eve Bennett officially announced that she's moving on from YouTube. Eve Cornwell said she was taking a summer break, but I think she no longer has interesting content to film because she mainly hosts meetings and check-ins for work because she doesn't know anything about tech.

What’s in my uni bag - Well, I never had one.

 

[Hannahebee]

Does oxford do masters part time? Or maybe she is planning on doing a PHD after?

I have just checked the course that she is doing and you can only do it full-time which lasts 9 months. However, full-time PhDs usually last for 3 or 4 years whilst part-time PhDs can take up to 6 or 7 years.

Yeah, as someone who uses chatgpt regularly to write fanfiction for dead fandoms, I doubt it is that detectable, because the bot changes it tone and trends drastically with each update. It's like every new update has it's own little personality. Some updates are chill and funny, some are serious and analytic. A few have been downright assholes.

I am DYING to know the fandoms. Please share.

Just watched the first minute or so of Rube the Tube's video. I just can't POURIDGE. Rube's you tube that isn't how you say porridge even using a heightened RP accent. Note to Ruby: if you're having a nosey. When acting as if one has a heightened RP accent one might try and assume the correct vowels for that accent. I've heard your parents speak and they do not use a heightened RP accent. People at Piper's do not speak with that accent so why are you? I studied phonology & phonetics and in my view your accent is kinda phoney. Just my view.

I'm sorry, I know it's been mentioned before, but her nails are disgusting.
She should add nail clipping to her to-do list.

Yeah just a year (actually less, I think it is 9 rather intense months) I presume she's hoping to apply for a PhD afterwards? Those are 4 years (on average) in the UK. I get the impression she's pretty set on just staying in 'Acadamia' (as she pronounces it ) as long as she can.

Oh that's going to be a shitshow bearing in mind funding deadlines for PhD applications tend to fall around end of nov/beginning of dec she needs to get her act tgt to find a supervisor and write a research proposal. Its unlikely she'll apply (successfully) this year.

 

[mindlessness]

So I know MA programs are different in the UK than the US but is she going to only be doing this for a year? Does she even know what she is going to be doing after?

Currently wondering what Alan's Curry House Antics are? Tempted to go on chat gp and see what it conjurers up and see if it is similar to one of Claire's blog posts.


Also yikes to Ruby's hairline today!

Partner and I were also surprised with Daddy Bones locking the study. Wonder why he does that as I can't imagine my parents locking a room from my brother and I? Why does he lock it? Wrong answers only.

Her studying seems to be so much busy work than actually proper working. I certainly didn't make a Pinterest board for university preparation, did anyone else?

I don't know why she's not started her uni reading yet from what she shows. She should have started when she got in especially as she's not an early modernist. I don't know if she is expecting to find an Oxford Blakney. I expect that she is going to pander and harass her lecturers in massive emails to give her the answers she needs when she's stuck akin to undergraduate, or she's going to cram for 15 hours a day to compensate for her lack of knowledge.
in an am actually convicted that she's going to transfer.

Does anyone know if the Victorian literature course has the archive elements in it? Just wondering if she's sticking with the early modern one for the archives.
