It's been a while..

Hey honey (and anyone else that is reading this).
Wow it has been a while since I have been on. Well let me just update you on life...where should I start? Well it's starting to snow here in Minnesota, you know what that means! Gerardo is gonna start getting sick. :( I'm kind of hoping that working out will keep my body from freaking out like it did last year. Training for the triathlon is going great. I have been freaking about the swimming portion since I kind of suck at it but whatever. I think it should be a fun time though. :)
I still don't know what to do about medical school and my future. I'm always changing it, as you might have noticed. BUT I'm applying to this video contest by AAMS (american Association of Medical Schools). I just need to talk about why I want to become a doctor in 2 minutes or less. I find this really hard to do because I think I can spend about 3 hours talking about why I want to become a doctor. I started to think about how I'm going to answer this and I seriously went on a intellectual rant for about an hour or two. There are so many reasons why I want to do this and I don't think I could ever name them all. I know that I'm really unsure about life, well as far as my career and my future, and I know that I'm always changing my plans but it's because I want to do so much. I really don't want to look back when I'm 80ish and be like "Man I wish I would have done that."
If I'm one of the top 10 winners I get 1,000 for medical school applications, MCAT courses, and anything else that I would need from AAMS (which is a HUGE deal because applying is NOT cheap!!)
I know that eventually I will become a doctor. I know that I have the resources and the skills to achieve whatever I want. I just struggle with the in between....

Other than that, everything is great! I miss you a ton (directed towards Nikki)! I'll tell what happens this weekend after I take care of the devil dog. It should be fun though. I miss hanging out with him and playing with him.

Love you tons!
Have fun and take care!! Soak up the weather!!!
Gerardo

hmmm....

I FREAKIN LOVE YOU!!
I hanging out with Mike right now at the library and I keep realizing that I love you a ton! We were just talking about how it has almost been four months that we have been apart. 4 MONTHS!! That is almost half of the time you are going to be away for. And this coming semester is going to be super exciting and super busy ( I can already tell). I'm just excited for you to come home and I can't wait to see you in person. Don't get me wrong, I do want you to enjoy your time out in Palestine and wouldn't want you to come home early for any reason. I love hearing about your adventures and all the people you meet out there. I love you Nikki!
Guess what by the way? Our anniversary is on election day! Cool huh?
I will tell you about homecoming weekend next you call me. I totally understand if you can't though. I know that things can fill up life.
Thanks for supporting and loving me for who I am.

Take care honey! XOXOXOXOXO
Enjoy the weather! With love,
Gerardo
