So two days back into the term and it almost doesn't feel like we've had a break. Nothing to full on yet though we've been allowed class time to get into and finish our Southern Cross Packaging competition entires. Thank goodness! I had intended to get so much of it done over the holidays and got almost nothing done. Which is ridiculous. But I blame it all on getting so sick.
This semester is also a very full on timetable. We actually technically have a five day week of classes. It's kind of intense! Will be rather hectic I believe. Which is good. I like being busy. But then I realise those things that I wanted to get done over the holidays will have to wait until the next ones! And that's a little bit depressing!
Oh well. Back into it!

Sunday Summary 15/7/2012
I've probably mentioned this song before but this week I cannot get Some Nights by Fun. out of my head. It's just stuck there and I love it! Also Feel the Love by Rudimental, which I know I have definitely mentioned before but it has been stuck in my head!
Took some of my siblings to see The Amazing Spiderman. Unfortunately it had to be a 3D screening as it was the only one on at the time that suited but I actually enjoyed the 3D though usually I don't feel like it makes much of a difference. My little brother is a particularly big Spiderman fan and I was keen to see it with Andrew Garfield in it so we headed off to the cinema and were not disappointed! A full review will be in the next The Flave.
It was one of my dearest of friends 21st birthday this week so I cooked her some chocolate cupcakes! Haven't baked in ages! Was a bit of fun. Netball also went quite well this week with another solid win for the team. And I even went out on Saturday night and didn't get home until the early hours of the morning after a night on the dance floor which a have not done in AGES! So all in all a pretty fantastic week!
And now the depression hits as my holidays are over in less than an hour and tomorrow semester two twenty-twelve begins. I think it's more depressing because I was so sick at the start of them which I feel stopped me from doing quite a few things that I was going to. But ohhhh well. These things happen. And as usual I am actually a bit excited to get back to it.
The week in thousands of words...
Discovering the awesomeness of clusters in muesli!
My little brother was franticly excited to go and see the new Spiderman film.
Cooking chocolate cupcakes.... mixture....
Baked...
One of the decorated cupcakes!
It's been a wet and muddy week!
Have been craving salty stuff so bad lately! This well salted deep fried fatty goodness of a potato cake was exactly what I was craving today. Satisfied!
My new desktop ;)
Dark liquorice bullets are my latest chocolatey love!
Hope you've had as good a week as I have and an even better one to come!

Sunday Summary 8/7/2012
So I missed out on doing one of these last week. I got slack from being sick(excuses excuses) and didn't have much to summarise from a week of being in bed!
This week involved a shopping trip with my darling sisters and an extra long trip home due to a bad accident somewhere along the line. But it did result in some sweet purchases and some new favourite wardrobe pieces I believe! And a discovery of just how cute it is out at the Docklands shopping centre. It is my dream to live in the Docklands one day. It shall happen!
Also celebrated a siblings birthday which is always a bit of fun. It's a busy birthday time of year at my house at the moment! They made a pretty fab looking cake too!
Netball resulted in a safe win but I certainly think being sick has knocked me for six. Felt like a rubbish game on my part. But it's ok. We had ladies day which is an excuse for all the girls to have a few drinks together. It was probably quite tame in comparison to other years but entirely enjoyable all the same.
As far as music goes I've really not listened to anything new this week but I am in kind of in love with my sisters cover of Katy Perry's Wide Awake. When she gets a video up of it I shall ad a link here...
The week in thousands of words...
pretty fab looking cake the sisters made for the birthday girl.
Birthday girl!
New blue scalf. Yes it does match my blue handbag!
This image does not look anything like the colour but it's a gorgeous maroon knit jumper from JayJays and I'm kind of in love with it!
Currently a little bit obsessed with freckles!

InsideOut #009
Begin
It’s hard to get those first few words,
To know how to begin without ruining the perfect
clear space that you have at the start.
But once you have put that pen to paper.
Those first few words on the page of smooth whiteness.
It becomes easier.
Thoughts flow and spill from the pen.
Before you know it your hand is rushing across the page
excitedly, barely able to finish words and sentences in it’s hurry.
In that moment you realize in excitement that this could
take you anywhere.
You just have to write the path you choose.

Gaga!
So last night, despite being sick in bed
all week, I half dragged myself to Rod Laver Arena for Lady Gaga’s second
Melbourne show. I say half dragged because I really did have to make myself go.
But there was no way on earth I was going to miss seeing Lady Gaga, no matter
how sick I was!
IMAGE SOURCE: www.ladygaga.com.au
In short, one word to describe the show:
Amazing. Or spectacular? Inspiring.
Wonderfullyawesome!
Nothing less than what you would of course
expect from Gaga. The music, set, dancers, costumes, props. Everything was just
so quirky and bold and awesome! I would go to that show again in a heartbeat!
The only downfall was the tickets we had, though not as expensive as what some
may have paid, were right around to the side in the restricted view section, so
I’m sure from a better seat the show would’ve been even more spectacular! And
as a member of the special Melbourne audience, just like the night before, we
got to have Gaga sing her Princess Die song which seems to be in reference to
Princess Di. It was quite sad and beautiful. I think my favourite outfit was
this white dress that she wore when she sang I think it was Bad Romance… It’s
hard to describe and I couldn’t get any pictures close up enough of her to see
the outfits very well. And the meat dress looked pretty cool too. I’m still
trying to work out if it’s real meat or not… you would think you would want a
shower straight after wearing a costume like that. And her gun bra… or at least
I think they were guns….
Here are some of the pictures I managed to get. As I mentioned our view was rather restricted... But I quite like the shots I got.
In awe!

Sunday Summary 24/6/2012
So this week finished off semester one and has provided me with that slight feeling of freedom. I believe I managed to be "competent" and pass.
Everyone back home is sick with some pretty intense colds so after being home to visit for the weekend I will be using all the remedies I can and all the positive thinking to avoid getting it as bad as some of them but also hopefully not at all! Fingers crossed!
Music wise this week I bought Maroon 5's latest album, Overexposed on Friday, the day it was released! Haven't had the chance to listen to it HEAPS yet, but from the listening I have had I'm totally loving it. Also Allday have this cool track I've heard a lot on triple J this week, So Good. You can download some of their music at Triple J Unearthed. Also the Mystery Jets, Someone Purer is a pretty cool track. Van She, Idea of Happiness is another.
Netball provided a good win and a happy high. Also attended a ball with some friends which made for a fantastic weekend!
The week in thousands of words...
Bought so gorgeously delicious looking macaroons!
The cover art for Maroon 5's Overexposed album is quite different to their previous album artwork...
I've begun reading both The Great Gatsby and The Lucky One...
Band at the ball.
Hope you have had an awesome weekend and enjoy your week!
