Hiking Mt. Baden-Powell
July 4, 2007
Was a rush, but it was
Also the hardest thing I
Have ever done
Physically
And
Mentally.
The pictures turned out
Great, though!
And, I got to take a hot
Shower
Followed by a long
Nap
Afterwards.
But my biggest rush
Occurs during my season
Of training for
A private circus’s
Trapeze dancing.
I study this art while
On break from
University.
California State
University,
Channel Islands,
That is.
It’s like flying
Over the moon
When the wind is rushing
Through my hair—
The ants on planet earth
All wave at me while I
experience
Total excitement—
Orgasmic excitement.
I took up trapezing
To keep
Busy.
My marriage didn’t last long.
I was on the first cover of
This little magazine
“Playboy”
Who’d a thunk me bearing
My body—
Made beautiful from
Trapezing—
Would cause such a scene
With my old man.
Does anyone know
How long my marriage
lasted?
No, not my first marriage.
Yeah, the one with
Joe,
Joe
DiMaggio.

Introduction To CC
Hi, everyone! My name is Casondra, but I go by C.C. I am a graduating senior from California State University, Northridge looking to persue the art of teaching. Yeap, I want to be a teacher and mold the young minds of adolescents.I go to school full time while working between 20 and 30 hours at a local restaurant. I am currently in a semi-serious relationship of almost two years. We are both enjoying eachother's company an looking forward to what may become of us.
I am very much into hiking, riding my new bike, reading, hanging out with my girlfriends and enjoying every moment of my life.
With the persuit of teaching comes many questions of oneself. One is not just punching in a time clock, and doing desk work or hard labor, but a combination of the two with the future of America. I am so exicted to enhance young adults into analyzing and interpreting literature. I want to show my future students how passionate I am of literature. However, I am nervous because I fear I won't explain myself completely or I won't be as good of a teacher as I hope.
But I just tell myself: Everyone may feel this way towards a new career and if I wasn't a tad bit nervous, something is probably wrong. It's good to be nervous and uneasy/ timid about the unknown, and that is what the future is: THE UNKNOWN.
Origionally I wanted to be a child psychologist and open my own half-way home, but realized my passion for literature and decided to change majors.
I am a typical "book worm" reading every chance I get. I love analyzing texts, having discussions, and teaching to others what I think; hence why I want to become a teacher. I want to help others learn to explore other options of a text; to not just go with the flow of everyday thinking. I want to help others learn the power of analyzing and interpreting while enjoying what they read.
Regarding this new trend of technology in the classrooms. I think it is very fun and interesting because our "popular culture" orbits around the click of a mouse or the tap of a screen. Although I find it interesting and compatable for youth and teachers to use technology in the classroom, I also feel the loss of communication and personalization. Everything is so remote and tap tap tap on the computer, we forget to have genuine conversations with one another. Also the idea that not everyone in a classroom has access (whether it be financial or other means) to a computer, cell phone, ipod, etc. makes me less dependent on technology. I want to build a class room environment where anyone and everyone is on the same level of comprehension and capability.
So this is my blog! I look forward to putting my thoughts and ideas out there for the world to see, as well as reading what my fellow classmates have in mind.
