Starting with my Graduation

Hi everyone that reads my blog. It’s good to say hello and tell you what I did this last week. Let me tell you that I was reviewing some of my post I realized that I use to make mistakes while I type, -something like: meet instead of meat… haha – and some other that I’m not gonna say… but sorry about those.

Last Friday I had my “photo session” for graduate candidates; we all dressed up like fake executives… I’m mean with formal suit (I’m not sure whether I’m using the right word for this),,, you know this kind of formal dressing with trousers and something like a tuxedo and a long sleeves shirt… … yes… you know what I mean. We made a photo session with the class, jun-may 2008. There are some pics on my picasa web … check them out: http://picasaweb.google.com/ochand/ … there you can see how ridiculous we look, but it was funny and quite sad cause I’m feeling that my student period is over… and it will be over in less than 3 months …. Shit!....

It’s funny because some years ago I was looking forward to reach the day to become a graduated and start working, now I’m still excited to overcome this working issues but I still wanna be a student… I know that many things will change… I’m wondering why many working people repeat: - I would like to be a student again -, maybe I will understand during this year but I really would like to disagree with those people and find my way of being a employee or a self-dependent worker.

Bye bye

After Valentin’s Day Post

Wow… this week was amazing!... I wanna start telling you that I finished my exam's week, the four that I had were quite easy. After my exam on Friday we made a typical Sinaloense (the name of people of the state in Mexico where I live) party; this means, grill meat, beer and some kind of banda music (or something similar). It was very funny even that the evening was a little bit cold – remember that a cold evening here is around 12 °C. We were supposed to start the party at 8:30 pm but as good unpunctual Mexicans we started it at 10:00 pm. The beef was delicious, I ate more than 5 'quesadillas mixtas' and few bits of meet. We also bought many cans of beer, I can't say how many because it can hassle some people… :P… we continued celebrating till sunrise… well I'm not allowed to say more… There tons of pics in Facebook... if you have a account you can make your own judgements...

This week, I'm gonna be doing some graduation procedures as well as continue with projects and stuff… I have the graduation photo, were all the graduation candidates take group and individual pictures and then you can buy them to decorate or undecorated walls or the dog house … lol … I think, I'm wanna get one of them!

It's late here and I'm feeling sleepy. Good Bye and Thanks to everybody that told me that read my blog! This make me feel motivated to keep typing!

Have a cool week!

Hard Work for this Week

What happen when you don’t know what to write about?... well this week has been one like this, focusing everyday in my college assignments, doing some graduation tasks, going to my tennis training, visiting the gym, and on Friday competing with my friend Adlemi, in the “Friendship Race”…

The last Friday, Adlemi and me participated in a competition; running for around 2 km around the Campus where I’m studying and reaching the finish together… well… we didn’t get a place like the first arriving people but, we enjoy it a lot... ☻

This weekend I’ve been working on my projects progress because I’m gonna have partial exams next week and my some of my teams and me were asked for some kind of progress report and some deliverable of the work we’ve done. By the way, I didn’t tell you what my university projects are about. If you’re not interested pass to the next paragraph…

For my Information Systems Seminar as teams we’re gonna implement ITIL, or at least the practices of the service management books. I guess we’ll do this in a real company, but we haven’t started it yet.

We need to develop an inventory/point-of-sale system to manage the operation of a fabric retailer where my sister works. For this project we’re self demanding a high effort because the company really needs help to organize their operations and professionalize their labor force. Technically speaking, we’re using RUP (Rational Unified Process) to accomplish the objectives that we defined; we’ll use C# with SQL Server and perhaps some ASP .NET. The big challenge is that I’ve never written a line of code in this language so I have around 3 months to learn it and develop the system. Man… I need to pass everything otherwise I won’t receive my degree this May.

In the subject: comprehensive solutions for companies, we need to find a company with a historical transactional database in order to make a data warehouse and develop something called cube… I’m not sure about this :p… but this is something such an executive dashboard for decisions making.

And for entrepreneurial development we’ll be helping micro companies from a poor community of my city. We’ll help them to make a business plan and link them with financial instruments in order to increase their turnover and/or sales. This program is part of the initiative from my university that comes with the definition of the new mission to the year 2015.

This way you maybe imagine that I’m with lot of things to do and more because of the exams next week… but I like what I’m doing so I’m sure I will overcome this issues…

By the way, some people told me that they read my blog; this motivated me to continue writing… so keep reading and have a wonderful week!...

Posting again :p

Weeks like this one that just passed don't get it usually... Well if you read my blog you maybe know that I went to Monterrey for recruitment. The trip was really cool. I flew, for the first time, in this airline company called VivaAerobus which I remember it's a partner of Ryanair...

Yully, my whole-life-friend, picked me up and took me to Cheto's new flat. I looked around the Campus Monterrey which is located very close where I was staying, I met Enrique and Alan that Tuesday and we 6; including Yully's boyfriend, went to have dinner. The next day, Wednesday was the presentation of the company (Accenture) and some minutes after it the interviews.

There are many job offers but most of them are for developers, which is something that I like, but I would prefer something else. During the interview the recruiter told me about a vacancy in project in Mexico city for a Brazilian company... I thought, "... cool more travel!...", this was one of the things that I liked the most of this offer. I'm waiting for call in order to continue with the process of hiring... I hope to get this job. It's in an area that I love and it sound very challenging...

This weekend was the traditional carnival in Mazatlan, "... and yes...", I went there. It was a really great time; we danced, sang and forgot our every-day-routine. We stayed in a pretty good hotel... well... many things shouldn't be explained here but you maybe guess that we all had a great time.

You know what?... I’m thinking that nobody read this blog because I never get comments… maybe I should also post more professional things… lol… I will try at least.

Keep having good times and let me know something about you.
