This time of year is a gentle nightmare of assessment and stress. I’m having nightmares in fractured Spanish. ¡Me encanta el frigorifico de mi perro! Not relevant and not pleasant.

That said, our JMC project is coming along well. We’ve had to readjust a lot of our more ambitious plans, which is a real shame but was always inevitable. In particular, the way the webisodes have been changed diminish some of the glamour of what we originally planned. But I think the parts that we will film on Friday give a sense of what we’re going for and will be wonderful. I really wish we had a bit of a budget for this subject. Thank god Brontae had that crepe hair lying round.

As you can see, I’m more than a bit scatterbrained at the moment. When am I not? But this time of semester tears my brain to shreds; I feel like all I do is wander off on tangents at the moment. At least my component of the project, the audio, is recording tomorrow. I can’t wait. The voice actress seems more than capable, the scripts are sound (ridiculous camp, but sound), I’m working with familiar equipment. It’s all straightforward. Brontae and Amy are kicking goals with the app and the website — I don’t really understand the technicalities of what they’re doing but it all looks great.

So, how am I feeling overall? Like a mess. Like a total mess. But in spite of that, we’re tracking at a really good pace and I feel extremely confident heading into our final full week before the project is due.
