  • Update

    I received good news at my last appointment. The doctor said my eye improved. It feels much better too. I wish I didn’t have to deal with such issues. Continue reading

  • Appointments

    I had several appointments over the last few weeks. A few days ago, I had an eye procedure that felt like surgery. I was lying under the light while the doctor added glue. The eye feels irritated. I can’t wait for it to heal. Continue reading

  • Adjusting

     I’ve been in the U.S. for a few weeks. I’ve adjusted very well. When I first got here, it was chilly for a few days and then it got warm. I had a lot of mail to go through and things to set up. I have been busy getting back to normal life in the… Continue reading

  • Travel Day

    I traveled to the United States yesterday. It was a hectic travel day. Two flights got me to where I wanted to go (from Guyana to Maryland). I left Guyana at 6am and arrived at my final destination at around 7pm.  I actually enjoyed both flights. The flights were long but the time went by… Continue reading

  • Driving Around

    We had a good time driving around Linden today. We drove to Watooka and passed by my old primary school Watooka Day School. Oh my! A lot has changed. Continue reading

  • Picking Cherries

    It is a bright, sunny day here in Linden. I was out picking cherries (from the tree) just like I did months ago. The trees now have cherries again. The cherries are not like the cherries back in Maryland. These cherries are a brighter red color and have a different taste. These cherries are a… Continue reading

  • Day of Relaxation

    It is a rainy day here in Linden, Guyana. It is a day of relaxation. I got up, had breakfast and now I am watching a lot of videos on YouTube. It is very entertaining! It is not what I expected but I am not going to complain. The day reminds me of those days… Continue reading

  • Milk in Tea

    Question: Milk in your tea? I enjoyed a cup of tea just recently. There was no milk in the tea and I loved it. I believe there should be no milk in some types of teas such as green tea. You get the full natural taste of the tea. When I was growing up I… Continue reading

  • A Little Sick

    It is a quiet day. I am sitting outside enjoying the cool breeze. I will not be doing much today. I feel a little sick. I got up this morning and realized that something was not quite right. I was in pain. Hopefully I’ll be better by the end of the day. Continue reading

  • Life Lesson

    Question: What’s the hardest lesson you’ve had to learn as an adult, and how has it shaped you? One of the hardest things I’ve had to learn as an adult is that life isn’t fair (the most unfair things happen when you least expect it). I have seen many times that people don’t always get… Continue reading

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. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.

I welcome comments. Submit your comments and feedback at any time. I prefer that you use Facebook for comments, but feel free to comment in any of the blogs or on Twitter.
