The weather forecast was in our favour... I had some ideas up my sleeve... But the fact we weren't going to be in the house made me anxious: What the heck should I bring? Clothing... props... make-up? I couldn't bring all my stuff (though I could try).
Backpack and one duffel bag full, on campus and quiet spot* found: Here I go!Jump! Cartwheel! Eyes wide awake! In my head I was Audrey Hepburn in the Funny Face photos (really should see the actual movie...). But, unfortunately, my energy didn't last.
It's hard channeling someone I clearly was not / did not look like. The preliminaries showed me how disappointingly far from the mark I was.
A change of clothes later, I was completely out of the mood. We tried some things with scarfs... changed locations... Frustrated and tired, I changed back into my most comfortable outfit and let my hair down. There was some potential in those last ones before we called it a day. And then there was the long bus ride home. I think Paul was still hopeful there were good ones. I'm not sure.

* It was all pretty quiet, but Mr. Anderson and Shannon happened to be there. He's back in school this term!
