The Grass is always greener...: June 2010
http://treezygreen.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
The Grass is always greener. Friday, June 25, 2010. Wandering along the beach looking out towards downtown Vancouver. Not quite the same ring to it as New York New York, but I couldn't think of a single cheesy movie or song title with Vancouver in it. Anyone? So I made it to Canada! Only 15 days in this lovely country though, so I will have to return. I can't believe that I will be home in under 2 weeks. This trip has gone so fast! Hanging out with Megan. And it was an awesome night! Today Megan and I ha...

The Grass is always greener...: Rise Up
http://treezygreen.blogspot.com/2011/03/rise-up.html
The Grass is always greener. Thursday, March 17, 2011. Just listening to Dave Dobbyn's "Loyal" on the telly on the memorial day service for Christchurch. It is such a beautiful song that it always puts a wee tear in my eye. It is also a lovely song for the situation here in Christchurch. I never thought i'd go this way. It wasn't on the cards. But I'm happy that I dealt this hand. Won't you give my best regards. To Broadway and the big bright lights. I'm headed out that way. Sometimes I hear them say.

The Grass is always greener...: Earthquakes, Birthdays, Sickness, School and Moving House
http://treezygreen.blogspot.com/2010/09/earthquakes-birthdays-sickness-school.html
The Grass is always greener. Friday, September 17, 2010. Earthquakes, Birthdays, Sickness, School and Moving House. So exactly two weeks ago, at 4.35am on the morning of the 4th of September, we had an earthquake. A pretty huge earthquake as well, measuring 7.1 on the Richter Scale, and the same as the devastating one in Haiti that killed so many people. My fever went down over the next few days, but I was bedbound for 10 days, developing early pneumonia and generally feeling quite rubbish. I was qui...

The Grass is always greener...: July 2010
http://treezygreen.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
The Grass is always greener. Saturday, July 24, 2010. So I started Grad school on Monday and it was definitely the right decision. Straight away, the vibe has been positive and while it is going to be an intense year (social bye bye for now) it will be worth it. There are 34 of us in our intake (there was 35 but one guy left on day 3). 12 Secondary and 22 Primary. At the moment we are all together, as we're doing basic stuff like literacy, which is important for everyone. Links to this post. So the fligh...

The Grass is always greener...: School Placement
http://treezygreen.blogspot.com/2010/08/school-placement.html
The Grass is always greener. Friday, August 6, 2010. So I've made it through the first 3 weeks of the course, and I am absolutely loving it! We have been teaching a reading programme one on one for the last two weeks, which was great, and a great introduction to teaching. Starting Monday, it all goes up an extra level, with my first placement, this tme at Spreydon Primary. I have a Year 1-2 class and I am really excited about getting into it.

The Grass is always greener...: April 2010
http://treezygreen.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
The Grass is always greener. Friday, April 30, 2010. I'm going to be a teacher when I grow up! I just received a letter from the Gradute School. I got in! Links to this post. Thursday, April 22, 2010. Everyone has been asking me if I have heard from Grad school. I haven't and was getting more and more frustrated, as what I do with the rest of my year depends on this outcome. Please forward this message to Lois (or someone else involved in the application process). Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

http://treezygreen.blogspot.com/2011/03/so-apparently-it-takes-disaster-to-get.html
The Grass is always greener. Friday, March 11, 2011. So apparently it takes a disaster to get me back writing on here. And even then it has taken almost 3 weeks to write (has it only been that long? I actually had to stop there and check that because it felt like it had been at least a month). So, I guess time to immortalise my account of what happened on February 22nd 2011. The day that Christchurch changed forever. The other one was also a girl from my class, and I was accompanying over to the toilet, ...
