Cynthia's Story
Life
Hello out there, My life has had its ups and downs. What did I get out of it well, lets see, I have been married twice, I have two kids who have given me five grandchildren. Since my kids have moved out I have adopted a dog, cat, and a minature rabbit. I bought a house on top of a mountain (palomar mountain in san diego) which recently had a major fire but, my house is safe and sound.
Living on the mountain is different from the city. I have two channels to watch on T.V. (no cable up here) and dial up for the computer (This is why it is taking me so long to complete my classmate profile). It snows up here during the winter and everyone stays indoors.As far as our city goes, we have one "General store (which I work at) one restaurant,a soap shop, and a tiny post office ( no postal dilivery up here you pick up your mail at the post office). Our fire station which resembles a barn doubles as the community center.We have no street lights because the "Palomar Mountain Observatory" up here has a light ordinance. Our streets are dirt roads with no address' and yes, we have been told that this mountain resembles "mayberry".
Everyone knows ...Expand for more
everyone and the nice thing about the mountain is that you feel safe up here once you get to know everyone.

School
I attended Bell High School in Bell, California. My biggest crush I had on a guy was Jon knapp, whom I later married and had two children (I latter divorced and remarried). If I could do this all over again I think I would focus more on a carreer and less on boys. But, I do have to say that those highschool days were the funnist time I every had. No worries and lots of fun.
College
I recently finished my college degree at San Diego State. I recieved a Bachlor Degree (2004)in the Arts and Sciences, and two minors, one in Asian Art history and the other in Native American Studies.
I have to admit that it is alot harder to finish college when you wait. I remember staying up late trying to finish projects which ended up leading me to drinking coffee and popping excedrine almost every night and drinking (thank goodness this was invented)redbull during the day!
As an art major I hope in 10 years, to be in new york displaying my art at an art show. I'm going to get there by creating 50 works of art, gallery ready.
