Valentine's Day Plans

My plans for Valentines Day!

Almost every Gallagher Girl will assemble after lunch on the 14th (we have the day half off) and watch romance movies. It is a tradition we have carried on for years. Every year, the current Sophomore Class hosts. We decorate the whole lounge and we get to pick the movies. We cycle through the Sophomore girls, in alphabetical order. When your turn comes, you choose the next movie! Fun, right.

Normally we have 99% of the girls, plus some of the teachers. The headmistress used to come, I'm told, but then she got married. We decided to continue this tradition even though the boys were here. Quite a few of the girls have dates. The headmistress agreed to give them passes to town for dinner, and most of the girls accepted. A few of the girls though said NO and told their boyfriend (who gets a boyfriend in two months?) that they would be staying at the academy.

Jess hasn't said what she wants to do. So I'm not sure if Jess and David are going into town or if she is going to stay.

I am also not sure what the other boys are going to do. Will they join us? Go do their own guy thing? What?

I'll keep you updated.

About Me! (January 2017)

So, last week I asked you for comments, and/or emails.
What do you want to know about me and my school?

Well, here goes;

Do You Play Any Musical Instruments? What About Your Roommates? 
Yes, actually. I play a viola, which is kind of like a violin, but a tiny bit bigger and with a bit deeper sound. (I also can play the violin). Lily doesn't play any instruments, though she is a huge fan of some random singer dude. Jess knows how to play the piano, but she doesn't play often, even though we have a piano here.


Favorite Movie? 
hmmmm. Man From UNCLE is one of my favorite SPY movies....I also like "old" movies (my grandma loves them) like Singing in the Rain, and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Oh my gosh is that movie funny.

What Classes Are You Taking And What Is Your Least Favorite Subject? 

So many classes.
Here goes:
Languages: Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Polish, English, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Arabic, Farsi, Swahili, German, Latin, Hindi, and Korean,
Protection and Enforcement , Covert-Operations, Culture and Assimilation, Research and Development, Hacking and Cracking (Formal name: Computing) Driver's Ed, Countries of the World, History of Espionage, Advanced Chemistry, and Advanced Calculus. My least favorite classes? Advanced Calculus. Ugh. Math *Shudders*

What Is Your Fav. Class?!?!?!

Cov-ops. Duh. But I also like Culture and Assimilation, and P&E. I love anything spy related, and I love learning about new people. I also love learning how to kick their butts.

Pickles or Pineapples? 
Is that even a bloody question? Pickles. I LOVE pickles. And pineapples make my face raw (unless I grill them) Wait. Is there some secret meaning behind this?
What Is Your Favorite Food? 
Pizza. Root Beer. McDonald's French Fries and Ice Cream (Eat them together) and Steak. Also Strawberry shakes, Waffles,  and,.....who am I kidding.....I LOVE ALL DA FOOD!
If You Can't Be A Spy, What Would You Want To Be? 
A vet. I think I would specialize in felines :)

Do You Wanna Kiss Alec? 
I'm not even going to answer that

Is It Weird Having A Book Written About The School You Go To? 
No. It's awesome. The best part is it's true. The best part is reading fan fiction and being like "They would totally do that" or EEEEEWWW! They would NEVER!

Besides Pinterest and Google+, What Other Social Media Are You On? 
I have a polyvore account....does that count? I really don't get on social media a lot. Plus I hate Facebook...

(MY POLYVORE AND PINTEREST!!!)

October 18

Have You Ever Had A Boyfriend Before?
Nope. Wait, what do you mean before?

What Do You Do In Your Free Time? 
Free Time? What is that? JK
I do lots of things. I read, dance, do yoga, box, throw knives and cry over my ships. My beloved ships that are being slowly peeled apart.

Can You Shoot A Gun (Pew-Pew) 
Ummmmm. Yes. And I am a bloody good shot, thank you very much.

Aren't Jess And David Cute? 
YESSSSS! Would it be ok to make up a ship name for your bestie?

Favorite Disney Movie?
Avengers. JK. Hey, Marvel owns Disney!


I really don't know....Frozen? Mulan?
I do like The Hunchback Of Notre Dame a lot....Mary Poppins? The New Cinderella movie?
So many choices....

Favorite Teacher? 
 Joe Solomon or Abby Townsend.

Ok. That's it! If you have questions, let me know and maybe I'll make another one of these some day! (Maybe a once a month thing? Every other month?)

Spy Movie Marathon and Hot Chocolate

So this afternoon, everyone was planning to go hike along the trails because everyone was going crazy from being inside. Jess and Lily invited me, but I shook my head. Right now i just needed to be alone. I nodded for them to go ahead. Just about everyone was going, even the Research and Development girls who LIVE in the library and labs.

Even Liz.

I sat in the common room with a fuzzy blanket looking out the windows thinking. Then Alec walked in with two mugs of hot chocolate.

You could have gone with them" He said

"I wanted to be alone" I said "What's your excuse"

"I didn't want you to be alone"

I might have said something snotty, but he handed me hot chocolate.

Uh Oh!

He found my weakness! Chocolate! I sipped it. It made me feel a lot better

"Wow. Why are you so bloody protective?" I muttered "It's not like your my boyfriend."

"Wouldn't that be a tragedy?" He asked sarcastically

I looked up, but he was facing away, looking at the Gallagher movie collection. Most of them were donated by a Gallagher Alumni named Tina Walters.

"Never seen this one before" He said holding up one of my favorites The Man From U.N.C.L.E

"You've never seen it?" I gasped. I stood up and walked past him to the couch, snatching it out of his hand as I walked "Come on!" I called. "This calls for popcorn!"



It turned into a movie marathon.



The third batch of popcorn was popping when everyone flooded back in.

"That was quick" I called.

"To muddy. Plus it started to rain." Lily said and plopped down beside me. "What's ya watchin' "

"Spy movies. Alec had never seen the Man from UNCLE!"

*Collective gasp from all the Sophomore girls present*






Then started to rain like crazy outside, so we all stayed huddled inside, in blankets.

So much for going outside.
