You know how bilingual people are often asked, "What language do you dream in? English or Spanish? French or Italian? Tagalog or ASL?"
Well, I have a new language to dream in: Numbers.
Apparently I have done so much studying for the math CSET recently, that the numbers have seeped into my head and begun setting up camp to come out in my subconscious. While my brain should be resting.
The night before last I had a dream that I was calculating direct and inverse variations. There was nothing else in my dream but me + math. And I was super intent on these problems. It was imperative I finish these problems, fast, or someone was going to die or something. To my surprise, I suddenly found myself awake, sitting up in bed, still fervently trying to divide out 7 for the constant of variation, k. After a couple disorienting moments I realized 1) I was in bed, and 2) I did not have to finish the math problem. Everything would be okay, even if I didn't solve for k at this particular moment.
It was highly amusing.
The moral of the story is this: The CSET is taking over my life.
(In fact, I've got my headphones on right now while Jeeves whispers sweet nothings of matrices in my ear.)

I took the math/science portion of the CSET last month, and I passed it which was surprising. Dont get too stressed out over it :)
Whoa! How'd you take science and math CSET at the same time? I thought you could only be signed up for one subject per day? Also, what are you getting your credential in if you have to take BOTH math and science CSETs?!
