Our college tuition dollars at work

I look at this picture that Scout sent me last night and I have so many reactions. Where to begin? Well, let’s start with Eileen’s reaction. That is the easiest one to predict. “Don’t you think she had a paper due instead of shoving her roommate into a roller board?”
Then we might want to try to predict the reaction of Scout’s roommate’s parents - Glen and Jancy down in Austin, TX . The same Eileen thought might have crossed their minds - I don’t know them well enough. I do know them well enough to know that this photo made them laugh.
But I’ve been taking laughing to a new extreme. I have been laughing inconsolably since I saw it. I have so many questions. So many reactions.
1) who’s idea was this? 2) was this the only roller board they tried or did they get all their roommates to pull out their suitcases to find the ideal one 3) is the roller board actually zipped? 4) how many shots did they take to get this priceless one? 5) were they sober at the time of this photo shoot? 6) is anyone else besides Anna in the rollerboard? 7) Where were they planning on going - they appear to be heading somewhere. 
Does this picture imply that we should set an additional place at the Christmas dinner table? 9) Could this mean that Scout may come home at Christmas without dirty laundry? 10) Why does Scout look so happy? 11) What brand is the roller board - I’d like to link to their website - I bet they don’t know how well people actually fit into their luggage. What an amazing new marketing opportunity.
I don’t have much hope that Scout will respond to any of these questions. I’d like to think she’s too busy working on papers and studying - finals are just around the corner. But there is a part of me (a rather significant part) that believes they are planning their next photo shoot. And a word of caution. Scout, if you decide to move on from luggage to household appliances, avoid the oven - that feels risky. But removing fridge shelves and all those rotting half-empty yogurt containers (and those Corona bottles) coud provide ample room for Anna’s next adventure.
