Acquired Taste

 Good morning from Linden, Guyana! I got up early this morning.

In my voice update on poems I was working on, I mentioned that the five-finger (carambola) tree in the backyard of my childhood home produced a lot of the fruit. Because of that tree, I took five-finger drink to school just about every day. Although that drink was all around, I never really acquired a taste for it.

I acquired a taste for other things such as Malta (drink), butter pecan ice cream, and cottage cheese. I ate/drank so much of the food/drink that I grew to like it. I have a Pinterest board named ‘Acquired Taste’ (https://www.pinterest.com/fahmeenaodetta/acquired-taste/).

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability.
