More Than One Way
There is a saying that there is more than one way to skin a cat (more on this saying is available at: https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/there-is-more-than-one-way-to-skin-a-cat.html). I discovered that this is true even for the alphabet. For a long time, I thought there was only one alphabet song – a classic song I learned as a young girl Continue reading

Is Salt And Vinegar An Acquired Taste?
Most people associate salt and vinegar with salads, but there are salt and vinegar chips, salt and vinegar chicken wings, and salt and vinegar crisps/potatoes (examples are included in my Pinterest board ‘Salt & Vinegar,’ https://www.pinterest.com/fahmeenaodetta/salt-vinegar/).

Pirate
Today, I was reminded that I wore a “patch” (wound dressing) over my left eye during high school. I got the patch because of a small “growth” on my left eye.

More Water
Some things at President’s College were very elite. For example, we were taught to ride horses by trained “professionals.” We used bed linens/sheets made from custom-designed fabric that identified the school. Some things were “on a lower level.” We sometimes fetched buckets of water. My bucket was larger than a regular bucket so I would Continue reading

PE Outfits
I saw a post that reminded me of the standard physical education (PE) outfits at President’s College (PC). First, there was a flared skirt pants that buttoned up on the left side. When I first got to PC, I was one of a few girls who did not have that skirt pants outfit to wear to Continue reading

Status Jan12
Today, I am thinking of math during high school. I recently saw an article on one of my old math teachers – Mr. Savory. For some reason, I remember sitting in one of his classes in the second teaching block learning complex numbers. He taught me complex numbers, geometry, and some other important topics/areas. He 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.
