Senior art project madness!

We haven't updated in awhile. Sorry to those that actually read this thing. 

Spring break was great for everyone and since then our house has become an artist's (actually artists's) studio. With Cailee, Katie, Izzi and Caitlin working hard on their senior projects (which are due on Monday!), the house has been full of creativity, paint, concrete and various art materials. I can't wait to see the finished projects! On Thursday of next week there will be an opening reception at the Westmont.  

In honor of the senior project deadline, here are some wonderfully cheeky tips from John Baldessari: 

One thing to note, we graduate in 38 days. Holy smokes. 

SPRING BREAK.

Spring Break 2012?

No.

As a interesting social experiment, I googled "spring break" and found a myriad of interesting (and gross) pictures of bikini-clad women, bro men dancing on (what I presume to be) Miami beaches...this is certainly not a Westmont spring break for us.

Well it's our last one evaaaa. Wow that's weird. We graduate in LESS than two months...woah woah. So exciting and kind of terrifying.

Caitlin and Iz are off to the hot sunshine desert in Arizona.

Justine is building a two story house in Ensenada, Mexico with 10 other Westmont students.

Katie is going to Arizona to see her family for a little, then coming home to do workkk on senior project.

Marie is flying to Seattle to be with her family.

Cailee is going on a fly fishing trip with Lindsey and someone else who shall not be named...

Rita is going to Santa Cruz to check out the grad school (she's accepted!) and then hanging in SB.

It'll be a good break. Happy Spring to you!

President's Breakfast

The ladies in our house got to attend the annual Westmont President's Breakfast!

Every year, Westmont has a large fundraiser and community event that features a prominent keynote speaker. Last year Condelleza Rice came to speak, and afterward answered student questions in chapel. The breakfast tickets go fast and I have always wanted to go, so Justine's family she nannies for is a very generous family and purchased a table for us to all to go together. The speaker this year was Robert M. Gates—former US Secretary of Defense during the Bush and Obama terms. It was certainly informing and exciting!

Best thing on the fancy breakfast menu was...

créme brulée steelcut oatmeal.

um, yeah that's an actual thing. SO good.
