everything's changing

well, there have been or will be a lot of changes to my life in the next couple of months. as most of you already know, the biggest change is that I'm going to be getting married to a wonderful gal. the date is set for june 2, 2007 in olathe so you may want to mark your calendars for that day. that's just change in my personal life. in my professional life, I've started taking an MCAT prep course (the Kaplan one). it's very organized and methodical which I really like. unfortunately, there's a lot of time commitment involved in it. it's 3 hours twice a week and then occasional mock full 8-hour MCAT practices. and that's not including the time I have to spend studying for the 3 hour classes. we're also changing to new machines at work too so this weekend, we get to spend doing an in-service type of thing. we basically start on saturday after closing and clean the old machines till who-knows-when. then on sunday, we get to come back at 7:30 AM until 5:00 PM to learn to use the new machines so that they can be used that monday. we're also changing a couple of technical things at work. oh yeah, I've also been moved from the donor floor to the reception floor. that was quite a surprise coming back from my little christmas vacation. it looks like I'll be there for awhile too which is nice because it's a LOT less stressful and you get out on a set schedule unlike the donor floor where you get off whenever the last donor gets done. the last and final change (as of right now at least), I found out about tonight. it looks like the school that I volunteer and teach for is changing their name and joining a franchise or something so I've got to learn a WHOLE lot of new things so I can teach the classes properly. that's also going to be time-consuming. it looks like I also have to go to a certification program in washington in march. on the bright side, it looks like the school is paying for the flight and meals and the hotel. so bascially, when I'm not at work, or studying for the MCAT, or doing stuff for my class, I'm working on wedding details. *sigh* one of these days, I'll have free time again...
