Opportunities...

Yesterday I had a job interview for a company that gives tech support, this was my second interview and they told me that I got the job, but it will start until the 29th, so I have this weeks to take an anti-doping, get my "Carta de no antecedentes penale", go to sign my contract and get the documents they need.

When I got here in Monterrey, I didn't want to work there, I wanted to find a job as either a software developer or a psychologist, but then I decided to get a job as fast as I could and then look for what I wanted because I want to move out to another house, so I applied for that job and got accepted.

Since I had not received any call or anything for the jobs I had sent my resume, I thought that I didn't have a chance, but after the first interview I got a call from a head hunter that was looking for a web developer, but she first needed to show it to the company that was hiring, she never called me back, but there was still some hope, at least someone read my resume.

After my second interview (yesterday) I received an email from another company, they where asking me when could I go to an interview, and we made an appointment tomorrow morning. It is too for a web development position.

So yeah, I already got a job, but I am looking for something better even before I start working :P

Plaza de la Tecnología

So, there is this place in downtown called Plaza de la Tecnología, since I got here I have been wanting to go to see what do they have, so far, this has been my biggest disappointment, it should be called Plaza de los celulares y reparación de computadoras, it has many many locals and almost all of them either sell cellphones/laptops or repair them, there where only like 2 or 3 that sold computer parts and they didn't had anything interesting.

I went there today because I needed to buy a thermal paste for my brothers desktop, and only 2 stores sold them, in many they didn't even knew what it was, so yeah, big disappointment there. Although, there is a best buy like an hour from here, so not everything is lost... except for the prices, I went there a few weeks ago and found that they sell one of the laptops that I want, the Asus G75, but it is way overpriced, in amazon it is 1200 dollars and here it cost 28000 pesos, so yeah, I'd rather buy it on amazon and pay Sergio to bring it to me and I'll still save money.

UANL

So, today I had to go to buy some things here in Monterrey, and since I don't really know many stores I asked my brother where I could buy what I needed, he told me how to get there and how to come back to our home, what buses to take or the metro stations that could use.

To get back home I needed to get out in the university station and there I should walk to the other entrance of it. So, when I got out of the metro I was in front of the University of Nuevo Leon, it is big as hell and it looks pretty cool.

Since I had never been there I decided to take my time to walk to the other entrance and go home, and I got lost there, well, not lost, but I didn't know where to go, so I just continued to explore it, it was cool and relaxing, a few minutes later I found the exit and took the bus home and take a shower, it was hot like hell.

Entrevista...

Este jueves tuve mi primer entrevista en inglés, fue algo raro, aunque entiendo muy bien el idioma casi no lo hablo, no he tenido la oportunidad de practicarlo. Generalmente puedo pensar muy bien en inglés, incluso lo hago fluidamente, salvo alguna palabra que se me atora de vez en cuando.

El trabajo para el que fui es para una empresa de asistencia técnica que tiene contrato con Kaspersky, AT&T y algunas otras empresas, y aunque no me fue mal en la entrevista, si me faltó fluides para un puesto que me interesaba en Kaspersky, el cual son solo 36 horas a la semana.

Es probable que entre a otro proyecto, tengo que llamar el 15 de este mes para hace una cita con el supervisor del proyecto, el cual va a comenzar hasta el 29, así que tengo hasta esa fecha para buscar otro empleo que esté relacionado con mis carreras.

P.S.
It feels weird writing in Spanish :P

Priorities...

Just this past Wednesday my ISP came to install our new modem, but ever since I haven't been able to do anything, mostly because I either go out or a relative comes home, this past Sunday was the season finale of The Walking Dead and the third Season of Game of Thrones started, so I downloaded both episodes to watch them yesterday.

I didn't know which one watch first, TWD or GoT? It was hard for me to decide, and then I remembered that I was about to finish the fourth season of the new Doctor Who, so obviously I watched that, I wanted to watch how the tenth doctor regenerated into the eleventh, so obviously I watched like 4 episodes of Doctor Who before watching TWD and GoT, dammit, I love it, once I finish I'll try to watch the original series :D

Oh, and I watched first TWD and then GoT, I preferred to finish something before starting something new, if that makes any sense :P

Cloudy Now...

One of the first things I noted when I arrived here is the difference in the climates, when I arrived it was hot and humid, it was like 30 or 32 degrees but it felt like it was hotter because I started to sweat like hell.

But that was only the first day, most days here have been cloudy, it has rained at least like 4 or 5 days since I arrived, and there have been days when it is cloudy all day, its nice and all, but when it rains, if the next day has a clear sky, it sucks because it feels like a sauna... or at least that's how I think a sauna would feel like :P

Anyway, cool weather, although I fear the rain season, my brother tells me that some parts of the city gets flooded pretty bad.

Lost in downtown...

Today I went downtown alone, I need to start familiarizing better with the city, or at least get to know the main parts of it, but every time I went anywhere I was with my mom or my brother. So, I took a bus, then the metro and arrived downtown. I almost got lost like three times.

First when I was going to the metro station, I took a bus that passed near it, but I didn't know where I should get down, so I passed my stop and had to walk like 15 minutes or more. This part of the metro isn't subterranean, so it was pretty clear where to go.

Luckily, this metro gets me to downtown in a matter of minutes, I arrived there and I just started walking in one of the main streets, after a few minutes I got where I took some of the pics I uploaded in facebook (the one with the Zeus statue), then I went back and started looking at stores, I got to a plaza, a library, they where shooting a local show, then I didn't know where I was, lol, I walked for at least 2 hours, since I didn't felt that lost, I just continued to walk.

I got to another metro station that was in the other side of where the Zeus statue is, so from there it was pretty easy to know where I was, I walked a few more minutes since I wanted to find a cinema that I knew was near. It was in the same block where I arrived.

It was pretty awesome.
