Joined Technorati!

I’ve joined Technorati. Not sure what that means yet, because I’m new to the site. I have noticed it around for a while, but I wasn’t sure it’s value. We will see…

Where is Gilbert Sanchez?

by Gilbert on October 25, 2007

Hello everyone!

Well I've been running around these past few months. School in addition to joining school organizations. I have joined Students For Justice (www.StudentsForJustice.org) and Focus the Nation. So I've been committing a lot of time to these groups along with homework. I've cut back on my hours at work, but I may need to bring them back up (so many bills!).

So client updates. Airserco never responded to my quote so we'll see what happens in the future, but I have finished most of the work that my current clients have asked for. I've also become involved in running the Students For Justice website, flickr account, yahoo listserv, etc. JC Customs has been finished to the specifications of the customer. Mr. T's Car Audio hasn't though… I need to invest more time in getting involved with that customer and getting data for their shop.

So for anyone who is interested, that is why I never blog!

See you all later!

School Begins Again

by Gilbert on September 30, 2007

    So this week school began again. I have 3 official classes and 1 unofficial class. The unofficial class is one that I have already taken, but am "re-taking" for a better grade. Since I got a C the first time around, I can't sign up for the class officially, but my [awesome] teacher is going to try to put in a grade change. I'm also working an another grade from last quarter and if I get that fixed then I'll have straight A's for that quarter. I'm thinking about taking a Native American religion class for fun since I love learning about different religions (especially indigenous religions).

    My Official classes are:

  • Poli 16 – Grassroots Democracy: Social Movements Since the 1960
  • ICS 17 – Critical Consciousness and Social Change
  • GEO 1 – Introduction to Geography

    Some more good news! THEY FINALLY HAVE WIFI AT DEANZA!!! Woohoo! I don't need to go down to whole foods to use their free WiFi anymore! [I'll still probably go to get a bite ;P]

    This weeks been hard for me because I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. I think I realized that I really want to be an intellectual and an academic. I remember hearing my teacher tell us that she's an intellectual and we all laughed. She just gave us a funny look like, "that wasn't a joke…" She went on to explain what an intellectual is. Ever since then I've felt that maybe that is the route I want to go. I'm also really inspired by my cousin Juan, err… Dr. Juan Sanchez. He's the first Dr. in our family, and I can see that he is truely passionate. I think that I may have some of that passion for school. The thought of joining the honors program has crossed my mind for a while, and I'm contemplating whether I should join…

Work, work, work!

by Gilbert on August 9, 2007

Wow these past two weeks I have been working non-stop! I've been working with my dad, and we run around most of the time all over the bay area. We have 3 big projects that need to be completed as soon as possible. We got one school that opens next week, and we need to run a ton of wire and get someone who does fire alarms. The "head hancho", who is normally a contractor (but not this time -_-) is putting a ton of pressure on us.

Now for the good news! I am in debt up to my ears, but this next check should be HUGE. Hopefully I can pay my cousin Juan, the company, and my CC. So far I've gotten a ton of overtime, not to mention so work that I'm getting paid from last pay check. So hopefully I can get out of the red. I've been using wesabe.com to keep track of my spending. I like it because you can set goals and asociate tags with them. For example, I'll tag all my visits to taco bell as fast food, and I'll create a goal that says "buy less fastfood" and tie the fastfood tag to it. So then it shows me charts of how much I've been spending, and let me know if I'm on track.

So now I need to jump in bed because I have to wake up at 6 am. Till next blog!

P.S. Hi Leslee! (One of the few readers of my blogs =P)
