My most recent dinner was sushi at a renowned restaurant in New Haven, Connecticut. I went with 3 friends, we all ordered different things and then we tried each other’s. First I ordered an appetizer of edamame which is steamed soybeans in the pod with salt sprinkled on them and a small bottle of Dragon Lady Sake and a Japanese Swill Beer. The main course included about 8 different sushi rolls ranging from the Spicy Tilapia Roll to a Crunchy Hamachi Roll. The uniqueness of the restaurant lies in the variety of homemade and all natural ingredients added to the sushi. The rice alone they use is made with several different kinds of grain, all whole grain and organic. The filling had all different types of fish from eel to shrimp to salmon beside brie cheese and artichokes and different types of caviar. Sufficed to say I would eat there everyday if I could.

Over the weekend I went to work and hung out with my friends. On Friday night I was exhausted from the long school week and only watched a movie and then fell asleep. Saturday morning I woke up at 6am to be at work by 7am and worked until 7pm. That may seem like a long day but I have a very interesting job and I enjoy every minute of it. On Saturday night right after I got out of work I met up with my girlfriend and two other friends and went to one of the best sushi places in Connecticut and then hung out at my friend’s house and watched a movie. On Sunday I went to work again 11am-7pm and then went to see Paranormal Activity which is not as scary as it seems.

I live in Cleveland, Ohio. Cleveland is a former manufacturing giant located on Lake Erie. Today, however, the steelyards are gone and the biggest industry in Cleveland is healthcare. The Cleveland Clinic has a worldwide reputation for healthcare excellence, and the county’s third largest employer is also a hospital – the University Hospital healthcare system. People who live in Cleveland and east of Cleveland in Ohio often share more characteristics with people in the Eastern states than those who live in the Midwest. People who live west of Cleveland in Ohio are usually very much Midwesterners in attitudes and culture.

My favorite movie is “Gone with the Wind.” Yes, it’s an old one, but it’s still an awesome movie. I don’t think anyone was ever better looking or more convincing as Rhett Butler than Clark Gable, and who but Vivian Leigh could ever have played Scarlett effectively? It’s a romantic look at a very sad and painful time in our nation’s history, and I wish we didn’t have to look back and admit that those things happened and we treated people in our country as we did. All we can do is learn the lessons of history and move forward into the future, vowing not to repeat the mistakes that our ancestors made.

My favorite job was working as a nurse in the cardiac cath lab. I had the opportunity to see many people and learn many things, and the people with whom I worked were absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, I don’t do day shifts well, and the overtime was a strain on my family situation, so I had to leave that job and do something less satisfying. I will always count that as my favorite job, though, because of the excellent people with whom I worked, the manager (she was the best manager I have ever had), and the things that I learned. Working there was a lot of fun – and the pay was excellent!
