After five minutes, Ella conveys she's posed long enough. She went to class to learn the basics of modeling etiquette. I helped her put her thoughts on the blackboard. (She can spell, but her penmanship needs some work).

Used a classroom at Pitt's Nationality Rooms. Pulled chair from back of room. Told Ella to uncross her legs and sit still. She wouldn't. Gave her the book. She wasn't thrilled with the color. Her sister, Carmen, ran in and jumped on the podium, thinking this was great fun. The professor is very literal. He brought the birdie for Ella to watch. Not a good thing.
