It seems that I am dreaming that I'm doing things that I haven't actually done yet but need to still do - the most common scenario involves e-mailing/calling/writing back to various people. Imagine my very unpleasant surprise to discover that actually, I haven't responded to that e-mail that my department advisor sent me about getting my statistics grade officially corrected (which officially will start happening in August, I hope). Does this confusion and invasion of reality into dreams ever happen to anyone else? I'm afraid my subconscious can be terribly dull, although sometimes it comes up with entertaining "lost" episodes from various TV shows. My favorite to date was a black and white Emma Peel era Avengers episode that took place in a hot air balloon; unfortunately I don't remember much else, other than that the air balloon scenes actually looked like they were shot in a studio against a blue screen.
In other vaguely multimedia-related news, I'm recording a voiceover for the first time tomorrow, and I might actually get paid for it! Yes, this is coming from the person with the slight speech impediment who was afraid in high school for the teacher to call on her to read out loud whatever it was that we were reading at the time. As a teenager (heck, who am I kidding - even now) I was self-conscious about my voice the way most girls are self-conscious about their bodies. One of the reasons why I don't really talk that much in person is because I still slip up a fair amount even around people I know well; no matter how many hours I practice, presentations and speeches (though strangely enough, I've never had serious stage fright) will always be a challenge. But I figure that the best way of combating fear is to directly confront it, so I figured that this would be a good opportunity to practice. Few people are probably going to listen to it anyway, which is reassuring.

laleia, please tell me that your group hasn't started your orientation neighborhood project yet. I have no idea what our group is doing seeing as half of us aren't around to film as we had originally planned. Blargh.
