Summer Time

Hello loyal CAKES fans! (special shout out to Jenna Lee and Melissa Adams!)

Here is an update as to what the CAKES gals are all up to this wonderful summer of 2012.

C - Cindy is having a Brainy Bake-tastic Bobby-Bangy Berkeley summer. She's studying hard through the summer sessions at Cal and baking a lot of fun things, so I hear. And she got the CUTEST hair cut to a short little bob with bangs! Gotta love Cindiva. Way to go, girl!
A - Attrace is practicing her Spanish skillz and learning about biodiversity in Costa Rica! Que fabulosa! Sounds like a lot of fun. And her host family has three dogs and they really like her. Or at least I presume they would.
K - Kelsey is in good ol' Ptown (that's Pleasanton) this summer and interning in Sunnyvale where it is, in fact, sunny. Most days.
E - Emily Rose Gilson is doing an amazing internship research thing in Berkeley. It's the Short Term Educational Experiences For Research in Environmental Health for Undergraduate Students. Aka STEER. In the Division of Environmental Health Sciences in the School of Public Health. BASICALLY SHE'S A GENIUS. Nothing new about that.
S - Sadie is engaged. Did we mention that?! YEAH SHE IS. And she is in her home-town SLO-town this summa. She's interning with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) for SLO county! Sounds like hecka GTs (good times) from what she's told us!

We hope you all are enjoying your summertime! Can't wait for all da fun timez to come in the Fall!

God Bless you and America,

apartment meeting

tonight CAKES had an apartment meeting, perhaps the first one of the semester. certainly the first one in a while. I am glad we had one. we talked about all sorts of things, from summer logistics to apartment aesthetics to what next year will potentially look like. it was good to hammer things out, and honestly, just to have some time where we are all together. it is rare. one fun thing, we recently implemented the "jingle jar" (just made that name up). we put loose change or coins we find randomly in the jar and when it fills up, we will go get a treat together. cute, right? so that's that. a glimpse into our collective life. OH! and we cleaned out and organized our freezer and i found food i didn't know i had!! like Christmas morning!!

He Put a New Song in My Mouth

As we (minus A) sat around in the living room, some studying, some not (S)

We rewrote the lyrics to Break Every Chain//Jesus Culture

You know, just your typical Sunday night.

Enjoy (:

"There is flower in the name of Cindy

To smell every chain

To smell every chain

To smell every chain

(mine was the first, so not as creative)

There is ice cream in the name of Sadie 

To freeze every brain

To freeze every brain

To freeze every brain

There is studying in the name of Emily

To ace every test

To ace every test

To ace every test

There is sleeping in the name of Kelsey

[Emily: NOOOO!]

There is absence in the name of Attrace

To miss all the fun

To miss all the fun

To miss all the fun"

21!

Things I can apparently now legally do, among others, according to Sadie and the internet -

• purchase alcoholic beverages
• buy a gun
• rent or buy an apartment and/or house without a co-signer
• buy a car without a co-signer
• gamble in vegas

How exciting a life I can now lead. Be right back - got to go buy a new house...
