However, the cheapest on there is Cleveland with an average 1 bedroom apartment rent of $695. That's pretty stiff for a new grad unless of course, the new grad is making a pretty penny. The question is, are there jobs pertaining to your career path? See for yourself! Cleveland is not an ugly site to visit either. ;)

BEST Cities for New Grads
I often hear about grads who can't find a job in their respective fields. Living in a town & age where jobs are very scarce, it's important for new grads to know where the best cities are. I found this neat list on MSN Careers.

Ask.Tell.
I typically am not awake early enough to watch the news & if I am, I find more important things to do with my time. However, this morning I woke up early & decided to watch some tv. Untortunately, the best thing on tv was the news! :( The saddest part of all that was that the most interesting piece of news was the U.S. Military.
The pentagon is dropping the "don't ask, don't tell" policy regarding U.S. Military service members. If you ask me, it's been a long time coming. It's about time the military moved into the 21st century!
In other news:
Tonight on Dancing with the Stars, Brooke Burke will be formerly known as Brooke Charvet Now, I don't follow DWTS but I found it interesting that Brooke's family & friends are split 50/50 with her decision to change her name. What's it to them? Sure, she's well known as Brooke Burke but anyone who follows her will know her new last name. I think the reason it was interesting to me is that my sisters have been giving me a hard time about my married name for a while now. They even tease that I'm no longer ______ (my maiden name). Seriously?! I can't believe name changes are still a big issue today. :P
Also, a Titanic Necklace was stolen from the Danish exhibit. A $1,380 reward has been offered. I guess there really isn't much to say about this other than I hope whoever stole it, gets caught! It's definitely an important part of history & anyone dumb enough to try to make $ off of it deserves to get caught.

I'm personally pretty happy about this. It's time the fun factory opened up again.

The water park definitely wouldn't hurt either. :)

Let me introduce you...
to a little something called LTA Move Club! Ok, so I've been doing this movie club thing since it started a couple of months ago. Basically people post movies that we as a "group" should watch and then certain movies are chosen for that week that you should watch; Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Anyway, you can watch the movie and add your comment or video opinion of the movie or like me just watch the reviews. So far I have seen quite a few movies that I've never seen and have come to love. In fact this is how I was introduced to some awesome freaken shows.... BSG and Dr Who. Anyway, check it out if you got time to kill. Enjoy. :)
This weeks schedule:
9/12: Fellowship of the Ring
9/14: Food, Inc.
9/16: Silence of the Lambs
PS: Yes, of course I had to mention it now that they had the LOTR's as one of the movies. :P

*Be forewarned video is extremely graphic*
I don't have much to say since I wrote about this day in great detail last year. But I can say that, I cannot believe it has been ten years since that horrible morning when I first heard about the planes hitting the towers. I have said it before and I will say it again; this day has forever been burned into my memory.
Never forget the innocent lives that were lost years ago or the ones lost trying to bring justice to them.
Remembering...10yrs ago
I've been thinking of the best way to start this blog but the truth of the matter is that there simply isn't one.
10 yrs ago every single one of us remembers exactly where we were & what we were doing when we heard the horrible news that forever changed our lives.
No matter what else is going on in the world these days or even in our own lives, 9/11 is engraved in our memories. We should feel very lucky to NOT be a part of the group of people who lost family, friends & loved ones that day. We need to remember that our lives could be worse & that in the blink of an eye it could ALL change.
Take today to treasure every moment, truly appreciate your loved ones, do the things that make you happy & proud, be kind, compassionate, caring, & best of all forgiving. The hatred won't stop unless you end it.
In loving memory of the fallen heroes, friends, & family at ground zero that morning. We will forever remember you, have you in our hearts, & your family in our prayers.

Blue bodies....
Hi everyone!
I hope you are all doing well. So I know it's not my day to post but I didn't get a chance to do so on my assigned days....due to the city wide power outage on Thursday and being exhausted on Friday. :/ However I did want to kind of talk about one of the many creepy dreams I had this week.
So as you guys read Thursday we had a city wide power outage. The first thing that came to mind was "ZOMBIES!!" I somehow have this sick and twisted fear/fascination with zombies...idk. lol So the weird thing was that on Thursday morning I woke up from a very creepy dream. So in my dream I was walking down this long hallway in what seemed like it was an old hospital or huge school. So apparently in my dream I was looking for a restroom. I come across a room and I go inside because I think it's the restroom. Once inside the first thing I see is that this room is huge and spacious and there are a bunch of huge long metal sinks with blueish, yellowish liquid in them. I look around and see no one in the room. I start walking down the metal spiral staircases to get to the ground floor where the sinks are since when you walk into the room you are at the top of the staircases. Everything is quiet, too quiet. When I get to the bottom of the staircase this guy comes running out of nowhere and is demanding to know what I am doing there and as he is running he slips and falls into one of the "sinks." He finally gets out and I ask him if he is "okay" but he just tells me "you can't be here! If the doctor sees you he is going to go Crazy! You have to get out of here NOW"
While the guy is yelling/telling me to get out because of a psycho-doctor I notice something out of the corner of my eye and turn my head to the left. Much to my surprise I see three bodies laying in three "sinks." At first I think that these people that came out of nowhere were sleeping but then realize that they are not and are in fact dead. I see that they all have a blue hue to their skin and some are missing limbs. At this point feeling a sicking feeling in my stomach and turn to face the guy and realize that there is another one of those bodies in front of me. However this one is standing, just staring at me with the most menacing look anyone has ever given me. The guy that was telling me to get out continued to warn me about the doctor and told me to go "now" but to not make much noise since the doctor's office was upstairs close to the staircase. As you can imagine I start freaking out and feel like I am going to faint, puke, have a panic attack/anxiety attack/heart attack all at once. I run up the stairs as quietly as I can while the evil dead-man body is still staring at me when I see that the doctor is moving around in his office getting ready to come down to the ground floor. Lucky for me the blinds in his officer were drawn so he didn't see me. I run up to the top of the stairs, out the doors and I keep running until I make it outside of the building. When I finally make it outside and the sun hits my face that's when I wake up....
I don't know why this dream was so unsettling for me but it is amazing that I still remember considering that I forget everything and I dreamed this horrendous dream a couple of days ago. That just goes to show you that I only remember the bad/scary dreams.....how come I never remember the good ones?! Sorry for taking up so much blogging space but I just wanted to let this out and see what you guys think about it.
Have you guys ever had such a creepy/unsettling dream/nightmare that you can't forget about?
I really hope that you have a wonderful day without blue creepy bodies staring at you!
Namaste,
Steph

Posted on my assigned post day...?
Why helloooooo!!
Well finally I post something....and on my assigned day! :) yay it took me how long? Anywho I decided to post something before I get sucked into the work/school/work/school routine.
How is everyone doing? Here is hoping that all is well. You know the other day I had such a great idea for a blog post but then I forgot to come on here and post it.....and as it should be I forgot what it was in the first place.
What has everyone been up to lately? Me? Well work, and beginning this week it is school....oy! But good news is that practically after this semester we will just have our practicum beginning January to May and in the summer of 2012 we begin Internship....WOOT WOOT!! A few little hurdles to get through in the mean time. For example our Professor already told us that this semester is "possible the hardest one" and then in April we have to take the NCE which is the National Counselor Exam (I believe) basically it is the exam that will dictate whether we can get our LAC which is the Licensed Associate Counselor (license) so that we can start internship and then after 2 years we can apply to get the big honcho license that says we can do therapy on our own without supervision. This semester and next I forsee a very stressful and busy time....but I am praying that it will all be worth it, I know it will. Work has actually been very, VERY busy and interesting these last couple of weeks. If it's not one thing it's another that is happening.
With that being said I have to say this: I miss my friends!! :( We hardly ever get to see each other anymore and that breaks my heart. I propose we make a time to see each other at least once every month. What do you girls think? :) Once again I hope all is well!
