To see a shark in your dream, represents a person whom you see as greedy and unscrupulous. This person goes after what what he or she wants with no regards to the well-being and sensitivity of others. The shark may also be an aspect of your own personality which exhibit these qualities. Alternatively, you may be going through a difficult, painful, or unpleasant emotional period. The shark symbolizes feelings of anger, hostility, and fierceness. You may be an emotional threat to yourself or to others.
Mmhmm.

Ego Stroke
Reminiscing, teaching was a pretty self absorbing experience. I found it hard to concentrate on anything else but lesson planning. And when I stepped into the classes, there was a rush of... power. And it felt damn good.
I was Emperor.
Ok enough boasting. But it felt really good. I was conquering. A small part of it.
Teaching is a lifestyle. A full time lifestyle, which I find it hard to commit with other personal commitments.
It is an obvious ego stroking career. How some of us gets devoured by the attention we are getting. Some couldn't take the humiliation (wits) and turned aggressive. There were the few who had such a heart that they'd go the extra miles to help.
10 weeks of experience was the most fulfilling I have ever felt. And I still dream about it.
Currently I've been busy with the house.
Making trips to law firm to settle miscellaneous stuff.
Contacting contractors to clean out the house.
Head cracking up with all the financial decisions.
Dealing with unecessary opinions.
Fighting against temptation to blow up budget. (Blown some already).
And doing some long term planning, something I'm not very good at.
I'm better at trying to be optimistic.
Partay.

Our Lady Peace - Somewhere Out There
It took 3 weeks of trial out @ Mainspring. Then 10 weeks of practicum (as trained teachers would call it) @ a high school.
Experience gauge: OVERLOAD.
Almost pleasingly rewardingly overloaded. If it weren't for other personal commitments calling for urgent attention.
The preparation for the move has been as smooth as it could not have been. The pressure comes from inside the head. Worrying about the bits.
Ask me if I feel like a grown up. Not really. It's been hectic, but I'm loving the adventure.
Been dreaming about my students since I quit just before the school holidays. I do miss em. Miss what I could have accomplished.
But that's life right. Always having to make the toughest decision and making the most out of it.
Can't wait to see how the house is gonna turn out.
