  <title>sickening</title>
  <link>http://miranda-loves.livejournal.com/16993.html</link>
  <description>for the 45 million uninsured americans, we are like Cambodia, or Burkina Faso, or rural India. The uninsured access medical care only if they pay out of pocket at the time of treatment or if they&apos;re sick enough to be admitted through an emergency room at a public hospital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in Great Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Canada absolutely no one goes bankrupt because of medical bills.&lt;br /&gt;on the other hand, in the united states, 700,000 people declare bankruptcy due to medical bills annually. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as someone going into the healthcare field, i find this disgusting and unacceptable.&lt;br /&gt;what i find even more disgusting is that people still think that america has the best health care system in the world and that nothing has to be fixed. ignorance is bliss i suppose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we watched a video in my organization and delivery of health care in the US class the other day called &quot;sick around america.&quot; it was a PBS special that aired in march, and it angered me immensely. i wish there was some way i could do more to fix things in our health care system. i also wish there was some way to educate the people that are so against health care reform. if i could just hear one legitimate reason why, I would be satisfied. instead its just a bunch of uneducated people posting statuses and journal entries about something they have no clue about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHY DO I LET THINGS LIKE THIS IRRITATE ME SO MUCH!?!? ahhhhhhh. i am supposed to be studying for this class, then i come upon a slide that talks about how screwed americans are and i just can&apos;t get past it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thats all, i hope you enjoyed my rant everyone.</description>

  <title>almost done...</title>
  <link>http://miranda-loves.livejournal.com/16661.html</link>
  <description>i dont really have anything to write about, but i wanted to write in this thing.&lt;br /&gt;only 9 more days of classes thankfully. i can&apos;t wait to just relax over the summer, this semester had been extremely tough on my brain. &lt;br /&gt;i went to washington DC for the NCAA hockey championships last weekend. It was the best weekend of my life. I got to see 2 great games in fantastic seats, went sight seeing for 2 and a half days, stayed in a great hotel, partied with about 300 crazed BU alumni and hockey players, and got to hang out with some of my best friends, all for free. The band really has done so much for me at BU. I am excited to start giving back in the upcoming year. Somehow, my band director talked me into being band council president, and tuba section leader. Both of which I did not plan on doing, but now that I have the positions, and freshman have started emailing me about joining, I am really happy to do the job. It really is the least I could do for this organization.&lt;br /&gt;In other news, I was supposed to meet the family I will be working with through the hospice agency today, but it didn&apos;t pan out. I should be going next week instead. I will be working with a 13 y.o. boy and a 17 y.o. girl (siblings) that have the same genetic disorder. I am really looking forward to spending time with them doing typical teenage things, and helping them feel more comfortable. maybe hospice will be the right realm for me. hmmm time will tell.&lt;br /&gt;I cannot believe how fast my sophomore year went by. I only have one more year until I start graduate school. It all seems so surreal. Soon enough ill be on my own! eek!&lt;br /&gt;It is really hitting me that steve will be gone next year. I never realized how much time i spent with him until it was official that he would be going to philadelphia in the fall. im sure i will be fine, because i will meet tons of new friends with the RA job. Philly isn&apos;t terribly far either, and as long as I can see him once a month or once every other month i will be happy. &lt;br /&gt;ok, i guess i should go to bed now. good luck finishing out the year everyone!</description>

  <description>Sometimes, when I look at livejournals and facebook, I could not be any happier that I went to school as far away as possible.&lt;br /&gt;When you stay so close to the people you were friends with in high school, and don&apos;t branch out, you don&apos;t really graduate to a new level in life. Thats what college is for, branching out, meeting new people who share your interests, and, for the first time in our student life, not being judged for stupid shit that we do, or mistakes that we make. &lt;br /&gt;I can honestly say that I am so happy people in boston don&apos;t know about my high school drama/grades/activities etc. It has really allowed me to branch out and discover who I really am, and who I really want to spend time with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love the person that I have become (imperfections and all). I love the people that I choose to be around, and I love the direction that my life is heading. I hope everyone can find this peace at some point.&lt;br /&gt;I think its funny that although I am so at peace with myself, I still feel the ups and downs that my mind inevitably puts me through. I hope, with time, that I can find ways to suppress my extreme lows, and learn to cope with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had my orientation yesterday for the pediatric hospice agency. It is such a beautiful organization, and I cannot wait to get involved. Children just have such a clear understanding of death and illness, and don&apos;t BS about it like so many adults do. I also admire the nurse who decided to start this unique program. There is such a need for it, yet people refuse to even think about the idea of children dying. It happens, and we owe it to them to make their passing as dignified and comfortable as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OH! I got tickets to see the DMB/Willie Nelson show in fenway at the end of may! And also tickets for the DMB show in Hartford. I am SO excited. It has been a few years since I have seen DMB, so hopefully these 2 shows will give me my fix.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;peace and love (and basketball)&lt;br /&gt;miranda</description>

  <title>snow day</title>
  <link>http://miranda-loves.livejournal.com/15912.html</link>
  <description>so, today was my first snow day ever, we got over 12 inches of ze white stuff last night and today.&lt;br /&gt;it was fun, minus the fact that i didn&apos;t want to even step outside. i did manage to trek to the dining hall twice though.&lt;br /&gt;the only thing that was bad about it, is now my hinduism mid-term is on wednesday, which is the same day as my gross anatomy practical and my RA interview. talk about a busy day&lt;br /&gt;i start up volunteering with special olympics again tomorrow, that should be fun.&lt;br /&gt;over break, i am also filling out volunteer applications for summer positions with a pediatric hospice agency, and an adult day care facility. i think they would both be excellent experiences for me, as i am extremely interested in hospice, and i haven&apos;t really had as much experience as i would like working with older people who have intellectual disabilities. if all works out as planned, i will have a fun and beneficial summer :0)&lt;br /&gt;im excited to go on break... i really need one right now. plus-- im going to DC...wooo!&lt;br /&gt;Stephen got in to Temple Med. I am so so so happy for him, that is his first choice of the schools he has interviewed at so far.&lt;br /&gt;ok, i should go to bed now, but i just wanted to write a quick update about the snow and my break.&lt;br /&gt;peace and love&lt;br /&gt;-miranda&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--oh, just an extra thought i had. i recently saw albums up on facebook of the dodgeball tournament. i am so happy that the tournament is now in its 3rd year. who would have thought that a crazy ass idea i had could turn into something that is now yearly tradition?!?</description>

  <title>its almost 2am?</title>
  <link>http://miranda-loves.livejournal.com/15850.html</link>
  <description>hey all-&lt;br /&gt;time for another random, spontaneous update from boston.&lt;br /&gt;1. i have been out of sorts lately. really bad anxiety, highs and lows, all kinds of mess. it might be time to go back to the shrink and get some happy pills. yeah, happy little miranda went to therapy for years during a battle that i guess i never won....its really come back to bite me in the ass.&lt;br /&gt;2. my grades are surprisingly good this semester, considering other things. I really enjoy gross anatomy, and love learning/knowing what goes on in the body. developmental psych is just like every other psych, and eastern religion is so enlightening. human movement is pretty cool too, we just play games and stuff.&lt;br /&gt;3. i saw blue man group today, it was fucking awesome.&lt;br /&gt;4. DJ, the boy that I work with, physically attacked me on friday. I never thought of him as a grown man until friday, and now I just can&apos;t get that deranged look out of my head. im not sure when/if i will be able to work with him again, having someone that is stronger than you try to seriously hurt you is a very scary experience, and shook me a lot more than i thought it would.&lt;br /&gt;5. i may work as a medical assistant this summer, that would be a nice job, good experience. Im staying in boston again, and playing in the orientation band (free housing, woot) I also emailed about volunteer opportunities at an alzheimers day care center, and a pediatric hospice agency. i am hoping to hear back from those soon.&lt;br /&gt;6. Paul Marcello, one of my wrestling babies, won a state championship this weekend. I am so PROUD.&lt;br /&gt;7. I am so sick of the cold. I really cant wait for spring/summer.&lt;br /&gt;8. Things with steve and I are wonderful. He is better than anyone I could ask for, and is really supportive and encouraging when i am down. he picks up on the tiniest changes in my mood and knows when i need him and when i shouldnt be alone. he is really saving me right now. He is exactly what I need and I am so excited for him as he goes through all of his med school stuff. I cant wait to see where he ends up.&lt;br /&gt;9. I have spring break plans :0) I am driving to harrisburg, PA with steve on friday, and hanging at his place until monday. Then we are going to philly cause he has an interview there. Mid-week we are going to DC, because he has an interview there too. Then im coming back to boston for the womens basketball/mens hockey tournaments. I am really excited to go to philly, I have never been. It has also been about 10 years since i&apos;ve been in DC, so that should be great.&lt;br /&gt;10. I miss my family a lot. Especially my mom, i really need her right now.&lt;br /&gt;11. Slumdog millionaire was a great movie, and deserved all of the stuff it won tonight. I did think it was humorous that the academy tried to go bollywood with the song performances.&lt;br /&gt;12. I really really want to see milk. It looks like a great film.&lt;br /&gt;13. I am going to see  george clinton/parliament funkadelic on wednesday. I am so excited for that.&lt;br /&gt;14. I am applying to be an RA for next year. I made it through the first round, the next round is individual interviews, i have one next wednesday. i think i would be a really good RA, and really hope I get the job.&lt;br /&gt;15. my intestinal stuff has gotten a bit better. I dont have an official diagnosis, but I have been trying out some meds that seem to work a majority of the time, too bad they are super expensive.&lt;br /&gt;16. that brings me to my next point, i hate insurance companies. they make life very hard sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;17. i love my roommate ellen so much. she is one of the most beautiful and wonderful people i have ever met, and she is selfless and really cares about those around her. i hope she finds someone that is deserving of her, and that really appreciates everything that she is. she has been such a great friend and a big help to me lately, and im not sure i will ever find a way to repay the favor.&lt;br /&gt;i guess thats it for now, because i am starting to get tired.&lt;br /&gt;peace and love everyone.</description>

  <title>quick update</title>
  <link>http://miranda-loves.livejournal.com/14855.html</link>
  <description>i have a temporary diagnosis for my intestines...lymphocytic colitis. It is a form of colitis normally diagnosed in people ages 60-80. I&apos;ve always been told I have an old soul, now I guess I have an old colon to go with it. haha&lt;br /&gt;I went to the hospital again because of pain and it turns out I also have kidney stones, and now have 2 cysts on ye olde ovaries. my body is falling apart on me. lol.&lt;br /&gt;on a lighter note, my trip to tallahassee was awesome. I didn&apos;t really get to see anyone outside my family, but that was fine considering i hadn&apos;t seen my brother since may. &lt;br /&gt;OH! I saw tea leaf green in concert last week, and it was unbelievable. If they ever come to a venue near you... PLEASE GO! I had one of those out of body experiences, just dancing to the music, closing my eyes, and letting go. ahh if only they were here every week, it would really help with stress management.&lt;br /&gt;alrighty, i have to go write a paper/study for tests. &lt;br /&gt;peace and love&lt;br /&gt;miranda</description>

  <description>1. I MISS MY BROTHER so much. so so so much. I havent seen him in 5 months, that is way too long to be separated from your twin and best friend. November 14 cannot come soon enough.&lt;br /&gt;2. I am really starting to dislike the whole school thing lol. I want to be an OT so bad, and I feel that the classes I am taking aren&apos;t helping me to become a better OT. can we just skip through this and get to the good stuff?&lt;br /&gt;3. I am eagerly awaiting the results from my procedure on thursday...i just want to know what the heck is wrong with me.&lt;br /&gt;4. I need to finish a book by today, so I am getting off the computer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hope all is well with everyone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i hope obama&apos;s double-digit lead prevails through election day :0)</description>

  <title>oh how times have changed</title>
  <link>http://miranda-loves.livejournal.com/14297.html</link>
  <description>hello livejournal world!&lt;br /&gt;i know i never update, but i always read others posts. I figured its that time of the semester to update, so here i go.&lt;br /&gt;1. Mike and I broke up. This was hard to deal with at first. I broke up with him because I just know deep inside that he didn&apos;t really love ME, he just loved the idea of me and that his family and friends loved me. I was majorly bummed when I first came to the realization that the guy I was absolutely nuts over didn&apos;t feel the same way. Looking back on it now though, we aren&apos;t even that compatible lol. gotta love that 20/20 hindsight. I am very happy now, and even better things are on the horizon :0)&lt;br /&gt;2. School has been going ok. 3 of my 4 classes I am kicking ass and taking names, the 4th however, (human physiology) takes advantage of me on a regular basis. It kind of sucks, but I am motivated to study and figure this crap out.&lt;br /&gt;3. band is....so so so incredible. I cannot even begin to explain how happy I am to be involved with music again. When I quit in highschool, i felt incomplete in some way. It is just such a fulfilling, almost spiritual kind of thing for me to play music. It really keeps me sane on those days that are just sucky. I am going to march a drum corps this summer. Im pretty pumped for it. Keep an eye out for that totally hot tuba chick on the citations drum and bugle corps haha.&lt;br /&gt;4. I am in the process of getting diagnosed with a digestive disorder. This has been the part in my life that has been causing me ridiculous pain and stress. I haven&apos;t had much of an appetite for anything but gatorade and crackers for about a month (and ive been dropping weight/losing hair like crazy because of it) This whole experience has just really opened my eyes to the healthcare industry and ridiculous insurance policies. I am very excited to finally have some answers coming my way. ill try to keep you posted if i remember lol.&lt;br /&gt;5. I MISS MY FAMILY. I havent seen my parents since june 2, and my brother since May 25? I just wish so much that I could be at mike&apos;s games. I am so incredibly proud of him, and it kills me that i cant be there to experience it with him. Thankfully, I am going to the homecoming game in november. So i will be able to be there once! My parents are coming to visit me next week! I am so excited. This is the first time they will see my marching band and me adjusted to college life lol. They will also be here during soxtober. Which is an experience within itself.&lt;br /&gt;6. I feel really distant from my friends from high school. I mean I know i am physically distant (thats kind of obvious) but I honestly feel like the only way i have to keep updated is facebook. kind of sad, but i know all of us are happy, so its not that bad. life moves on i guess. &lt;br /&gt;7. The whole breaking up with mike experience really opened my eyes to my relationship history and the type of guy i tend to date. I have had this ridiculous view for a while that i need to be with the perfect, handsome, all-american, eagle scout type of guy. The thing is, that isn&apos;t even remotely me. I am just a ridiculous (yet motivated haha), creative, laid-back hippie type. I need to try being with someone that is more compatible with me, rather than someone who fits the &quot;ideal guy&quot; description. i think i have found someone who is a good fit for me...but we&apos;ll see. im not ready for a full-blown relationship again yet lol.&lt;br /&gt;8. I love my roommates and my dorm. It is such a good fit for us, and they are just the 2 coolest motherfuckers BU has to offer. &lt;br /&gt;9. Working with DJ is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I learn so much from him, and he motivates me to be better, and to truly excel as an OT so that I can help others progress. His 18th birthday was sunday, and we went to a huge gymnastics center where he proceeded to pretend he was a monkey on the high bar. words cannot express how much i adore this kid. :0)&lt;br /&gt;Im comin home december 18. im actually looking forward to it :0)&lt;br /&gt;peace and love&lt;br /&gt;miranda</description>

  <title>summertime</title>
  <link>http://miranda-loves.livejournal.com/13683.html</link>
  <description>just a quick update about my summer life.&lt;br /&gt;i love my summer camp job. the staff is awesome, the kids are great (not to mention adorable) and the days seem to fly on by. it is by far the best job i have ever had. :0)&lt;br /&gt;working on the weekends as a play coach for deej is very rewarding, but can also be very draining and frustrating at times. all in all i love him to pieces, he is one of the coolest kids ever...but it frustrates me that i cant always reach him and get into his world. he makes me want to be better, and i am damn right determined to connect with this kid. it will happen by the end of the summer! (dont get me wrong...we get along and play great...but i just want to keep him in the flow for more than 50% of the time) i will do it :0)&lt;br /&gt;scarlet band is also awesome (minus the extremely early thursday mornings) we play great music, and i get to make awkward conversation with incoming freshman every thursday night! (be jealous!) &lt;br /&gt;i love this city, i love my jobs, i love my friends, and i love my life. everything is perfect, except that the boyfriend is off traveling the country haha. i am so happy/excited for him.. just about a month and a half left until we are reunited. cant wait!&lt;br /&gt;peace and love&lt;br /&gt;-miranda</description>

  <title>i love james frey</title>
  <link>http://miranda-loves.livejournal.com/13560.html</link>
  <description>so...james frey (probably one of the most brilliant/creative writers of our time) came out with a new book this month that i am just cracking open&lt;br /&gt;many people may remember him as the guy that oprah yelled at for &quot;making up&quot; his entire memoir &quot;a million little pieces&quot; he was shunned and people were shocked that he lied about so many things&lt;br /&gt;he didnt completely lie, he just elaborated and was imaginative about actual events (the mind of an addict/mentally ill person)&lt;br /&gt;anywho...he got a lot of shit for it (the &quot;lying&quot;) even though he is a brilliant writer.&lt;br /&gt;the first page of his new book states:&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Nothing in this book should be considered accurate or reliable&quot;&lt;br /&gt;hahahaha suck on that oprah :0)</description>

  <description>pembroke pines doesnt feel like home to me anymore&lt;br /&gt;especially when my mom is at work. i love hanging out with her, but when shes gone i have nothing to do because my super close friends (my brother, arielle, pensabeane) are all in tallahassee&lt;br /&gt;ive hung out with kevin/benhaim/jania a few times which is cool...but i kind of feel like the 4th wheel&lt;br /&gt;kevin keeps saying he wants to get together just us but whenever we make plans he invites other people&lt;br /&gt;whatever im just bitching about stupid stuff that doesnt matter&lt;br /&gt;the point is that i dont feel like i have a place here anymore outside of being my parents daughter&lt;br /&gt;its a really odd feeling and i hate it&lt;br /&gt;i feel more out of place here than i did when i first got up to boston and knew no one&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i also miss my boyfriend terribly, and he is in the boondocks and doesnt get service unless he wanders around outside for 20 minutes...which takes a ton of effort after getting your ass kicked at corps all day. at least i get to talk to him once every other day or so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;excuse my bitching ladies and gentleman...i hate bitching</description>

  <title>almost done with freshman year!</title>
  <link>http://miranda-loves.livejournal.com/12725.html</link>
  <description>i have 2 finals on tuesday, and then 1 next monday. I am ALMOST DONE! hoorah!&lt;br /&gt;I got a B- in anatomy...so I don&apos;t have to retake it (major major score!)&lt;br /&gt;I am going on a date tonight :0) i have gone out with my boyfriend once since we have been together...so this is a big deal lol&lt;br /&gt;Next week after my final I am going to syracuse to meet his family and hang out. I am nervous/anxious/excited for that. Should be a good time..except he won&apos;t tell me anything he has planned! Then i&apos;ll be back in Boston on friday for commencement. I cannot wait for the summer. I will be making sweet sweet moolah :0)&lt;br /&gt;Ill be home may 20-june 2...then its back up here for the summer. I was talking to Kevin the other day and he made me realize that I now vacation in florida and live in boston...I guess thats what spending the entire summer here will do. I think its weird to consider myself a bostonian--but I guess I kind of am. Ok i just came on here to procrastinate..gotta go study.&lt;br /&gt;peace and love&lt;br /&gt;-miranda</description>

  <title>gettin the hang of this</title>
  <link>http://miranda-loves.livejournal.com/10998.html</link>
  <description>yo peeps&lt;br /&gt;im finally getting the hang of this whole school thing. my grades have gone up and i feel like i have reached an equilibrium between school and fun time. hoorah!&lt;br /&gt;band is almost over, the only team we have left is mens ice hockey. we have a game on friday, and if we win that we are most likely making the NCAA tournament, in other words..it means i get to travel somewhere! woot woot!&lt;br /&gt;things are still going great with the boyfriend. i absolutely adore him and we haven&apos;t gotten sick of each other yet :0) if only we were business majors and had more time to hang out at places other than the study lounge and library lol. i kind of like our study dates though &lt;br /&gt;spring break was fantastical, it was great to see everyone, and show my friends from school what life is like in the dirty dirty south.&lt;br /&gt;im kind of excited about my march madness bracket, methinks i have a good shot of winning some sweet moo-lah&lt;br /&gt;a group of us are going to easter dinner in the north end on sunday (for those of you who don&apos;t know boston, the north end is like our little italy..the food is FANTASTIC) obviously im not going for religious reasons, lol we were just looking for an excuse to go to the north end&lt;br /&gt;ok i need to get on summer job surfing so i guess this if goodbye for now&lt;br /&gt;peace and love&lt;br /&gt;miranda</description>

  <title>holy crap im updating!!</title>
  <link>http://miranda-loves.livejournal.com/10572.html</link>
  <description>hello all!&lt;br /&gt;just an update from frigid boston:&lt;br /&gt;I am doing much much better this semester....love it!&lt;br /&gt;I love my friends and the city. Though I can&apos;t wait to thaw out in Florida for spring break (I am bringing my roommate and two friends from band with me!)&lt;br /&gt;Which brings me to another point--band is absolutely funtastic. Our basketball team is finally doing well, our hockey team is on a 4 game win streak. Things are lookin pretty sweet for my terriers :0) &lt;br /&gt;Even better...if they continue to do well..it means more band trips for me! Wahoo!&lt;br /&gt;I am an officer of a mac user group on campus hahaha....kinda nerdy i know, but my friend needed someone to fill the position...and considering i have a mac...i fit the criteria lol&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m staying in boston this summer...so people better come visit so I can give them sweet tours!&lt;br /&gt;I have a boyfriend!....shocking I know. First one since adrian actually. Gosh its been a while lol. But he is wonderful, and makes me almost sickeningly happy haha. I met him in band (just another reason why band kicks so much ass)&lt;br /&gt;OH! I almost forgot! I broke the radius and ulna in my forearm! I am trying my best to get the cast off before break, but if that doesn&apos;t happen I will certainly look hot on the beach with my broken wrist. It happened during our first game of IM soccer. This guy was like 5 ft. away from me and kicks the ball line-drive toward my face, so I drew my arms up and the impact of the ball broke my forearm. Kid didn&apos;t even apologize....bastard.&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I hope everything is well for everyone else! I know college crackdown time is stressful, but you will honestly be happy wherever you go as long as you make the best of it :0)  All the stress is totally worth it. College is a fun time...hard work though unfortunately lol.&lt;br /&gt;Alrighty, I am off to the library. Enjoy your weekend everyone!&lt;br /&gt;peace and love-&lt;br /&gt;miranda</description>
