Aside from the occasional dream about my ghost friend Monica, most of my dreams these days are filled with one-step equations, two-step equations, and linear inequalities. I just can't get them out of my head. It's a countagious dilemma that causes slight insanity. Let me rewind for a minute.
Monica is a re-occurring dream friend who is a nasty demonic presence to everyone but me, who puts her in her place. As for the math, I am a seventh grade mathematics teacher and above are just a few of the concepts I teach. I been doing this gig for going on five years now. One would think the jitters and sleepless nights would be over, but not for me.
My dreams aren't lavish lessons that I can bring to fruition in my real classroom. No, they are just simple mathematical problems, presented on a whiteboard, and my teacher voice mundanely gong through each step of the problem. What does this say about me? It's not my normal way of teaching as I have more of a hands on manipulatives sort of approach.
I guess Monica is a mystery too. I mean, come on, me controlling a ghost who does awful things to scare and harm others. I'm not Demi Moore, and even if I was, I don't think I could bare to become Godfather to a ghost, casting it to do my bidding and telling it when to lay off my pals when it scares the pee out of them.
