Yes, it was mixed.
But it was kind of a bit of a shock because suddenly I thought, oh, my gosh, I can't, you know, and it made me... It was the reverse of being confident.
I kind of went into my shell and thought, oh, I can't handle this.
But you stuck it out, did you?
Well, that's where my father again comes in and says to me, oh, well, darling, you know, you've only been there a term, you know, give it a chance, you know, anything new.
They're always so sensible and fair-minded and thoughtful, you know, and wonderful guidance.
And he said, you know, give it a chance and just give it another term, see how you go, perseverance, persevere.
And so I thought, well, you know...
And, of course, they would have had to have given up a great deal financially to send me there because you had to pay to go.

And even though there were, you know, nice boys there, I, you know, the thing was, I always looked so much younger than I was, even though I was sort of...
what, 16, 17, I looked 10.
You know, I was flat-chested, plain, frizzy hair, and boys ignored me.
