It never rains in southern California
It never rains in southern California--except, of course, when I'm there. But the crazy thing was that I was the only person who didn't care. At all.
Hello--farm girl, here! I've totally worked cows in weather worse than that.
Plus, how can you complain about the rain when you have two totally adorable tour guides who have been given strict instructions not to let you get wet!!!
Meet Krystal and Carolyne, the book-reading, code-cracking Gallagher-ish Girls who were behind my trip to Louisville High!
I got to visit with the amazing library staff and tour their gorgeous grounds.
Then I thought I'd be eating lunch with the book club in the cafeteria except... THEY DON'T HAVE A CAFETERIA!!!!
Instead, they have microwaves! Lots and lots of microwaves!
I'm pretty sure Carolyne and Krystal thought I was crazy that I was so impressed with the microwavableness of Louisville High that I took a picture...but come on! That is an impressive sight! (Plus, please note that some microwaves are labled "seniors". Wow. That's power.)
Following my tour I got to speak to all 500 members of the student body! It was so incredibly fun, and we got to cover such serious literary topics as how writers work, get paid, find agents, get rejected, and drool over Paul Walker when they see him in the airport.
Then, finally, I had to say good-bye to Carolyne, Krystal, and all the wonderful people at Louisville High.
I was so sad to leave, but I'm afraid I had caused the girls to miss way too many classes as it was. (If you fail French, girls, feel free to blame me!!!!)
I had an AMAZING time getting to know all of the amazing young women of Louisville High--my only regret is that I didn't get to spend more time with them.
Seeing that picture reminds me...
Weight watchers points consumed yesterday: 19 (I think)
Miles walked: zero
Kleenexes mutilated due to vigorous nose blowing: 27 (roughly)
pounds lost last week: three!
Have a good night, everyone!

thanks again for coming to our school. we totally miss you and this week it's like 80 plus degrees. maybe you can come and visit this weekend because we're, you know, not drowning! =]
P.S. maybe you can bring Paul Walker.
Wow. I've never seen that many microwaves in one place outside an appliance store!
Looks like it was a fun trip. :)
Wow. There are "seniors only" microwaves? How cool is that?!?!
And for the record, I thought you looked great in your picture!!! :)
Lovely picture. And congrats on the weight loss :)
Ally, there's something I was wondering about. Is there a writing organization, that you know of, geared toward authors of young adult fiction (in the same vein as MWA, RWA, etc.)?
Thanks!
Heather
only 500??? wow that's about how many kids that are in our elementary or jr. high schools!
only 500 thats about how many were in my grade last year!! and the microwaves totally awsome bet their food is better than my cafaterias anyday
lol, 500 is way more than what my school has. We ahve a population of about 140...
It looks like you had a great time! The girls look like such sweetie pies! The microwaves are awesome! I used to have to sneek into the teacher's lounge and microwave things during high school! Congratulations on the continued weight loss! Also, I'm glad that you're feeling better.
Glad you had fun! It seems like a really fun time. I'm jealous, haha. Although it is supposed to get to 80 here in WI on Sunday. I think.
O_O That's a LOT of microwaves. Our school has, like, NO microwaves. Well, besides the teacher's lounge and the kitchen (both of which the students aren't allowed in). And only 500 people? Our school has that... plus 1,000. XD That's like the size of my elementary school, and it was the smallest school in the district!
looking at this picture makes me realize how preppy our uniforms really are. haha.
Hey Ally, this is Holly, one of the seniors at Louisville... It's so cute you posted pictures of our microwaves! (You should mention that those are only half of our microwaves!!!)
Thanks so much for visiting, my friend and I were talking about your visit in Barnes and Noble on Saturday!! She missed it, unfortunately, I told her you were quite funny, and hello, who doesn't like Paul Walker!!
i'm in that school picture somewhere. you just cant see me. haha
