International Friendship Day
I learned from a post in Facebook that the UN designated July 30 International Friendship Day. The organization (Poetry Book Society) had a great idea for this year’s Friendship Day: have team members identify poems that are friends to them. I decided to join in. After some thought, I decided to report that the poem… Continue reading

Known For
Three things that stand out about me (I need to toot my horn from time to time): I like to understand and make sense of things. I also have good ideas. My Lessons Project is one of my ideas/projects that stand out. Just aggregating the various lessons was good. The statistics papers I had out… Continue reading

Update
There are still a lot of information systems professor jobs. I am in the process of applying for positions. I am willing to bet that I am not a typical candidate. I am starting my professor career with a lot of experience (I worked for years and years before deciding to complete a PhD). I… Continue reading

God is working in my life
Is God working in my life? Sometimes I am not sure. There are times I can only say things turned out well because of God. Take the papers I worked on when away from school contemplating my future. I cannot believe ambidexterity fits so well. I was able to report cases of ambidexterity not yet… Continue reading

Research
When I got to the PhD level, I completed my first research courses – such as Research Methods and Qualitative Research. I also read a ton of published (research) papers – papers that provided answers to specific questions as well as papers that provided new knowledge to the field. It gave me a new appreciation… Continue reading

Hectic
Today is much like normal. There has been so much activity, so much going on. It felt very hectic. Remembering a hectic day when I traveled from Guyana (GEO) to Maryland (BWI) via Miami (MIA). I remember that day well. The layover in Miami was way longer than I expected. The flight was good though.… Continue reading

Poe
I read Poe. It is not my style but it was good. Boy, was I surprised that he wrote a poem on El Dorado. Surprisingly, there is a lot of information on El Dorado. I am not certain which poems are better – the old poems or newer poems like Still I Rise by Maya… Continue reading

One day…
A lot of people have dreams that begin with “one day…”. The information would be good as a poem. Here is a poem about a dream career: See https://www.socialworker.com/extras/social-work-month-2015/my-dream-career-poem-social-work/ (You could also look to other poems titled “One Day” for inspiration) One day could be a day that changes your life. The poem could be… Continue reading

Another post about my book
It is 3pm already. A lot is happening all around. What a day. I needed a break. I still have several copies of my book left. I am still reviewing. I wonder which poem readers would pick as the best. Would it be the summary of lessons? I like that poem a lot. I think… Continue reading

Update
I canceled/cancelled the items (from my Walmart order) for pickup. I told them pickup would not work for me. I really did intend to have a single order for delivery. It is a good day. I also looked into that particular professor job I applied for months ago. The system provided a high-level update. I… Continue reading

Walmart order
I received the first delivery from Walmart not so long ago. I was hoping there was going to be one delivery (of my order). But so be it. I like what I got. (The were some complications associated with my order. There was separate delivery of an item – shown at the time of order… Continue reading

Update
This past week I dealt with a lot. There was chaos, some panic. I needed to hold it together (hold onto the reins during a wild ride). I called for assistance. I managed. Things turned out okay. I actually got some things done later. My life is complicated right now and the issues. I am… Continue reading

Noxzema
I remember Noxzema. Sometimes I left it on for a long time. It made my face white so everyone knew I was taking care of my face. I guess that was when I started washing my face. It goes back to my teenage years. Continue reading

Better
I really did “reset” things when I returned to school to complete a MS in Information Systems. I took a Systems Analysis and Design course that required contributing to (preparation of deliverables for) a project at an organization. It was good experience. I learned a lot during my program at UMBC. (More information here: https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2026/04/it-professional.html… Continue reading

Coincidences
As far as I know, there were some but not a lot of weird coincidences during my early childhood, i.e. before President’s College, which is the main period for my book Growing Up In The Town Of Linden (you may know that I am known for having a lot of weird coincidences and I would… Continue reading
ABOUT ME
I am the author of a new and different poembook on a section of my life. In the next few months, I would like to publish more of my PhD papers as well as more lessons from my life.
I am on a break from PhD studies at National University, formerly Northcentral University (NCU). At NU, 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 are available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.
Bio:
For a long time, I worked in auditing, finance, and information technology. I excelled at financial reporting, analysis, modeling, and training. I wrote a lot at work. I wrote analysis reports, plans, and tons of emails to communicate issues and such. At some point, I decided to pursue a PhD to qualify for special teaching positions. One of my advantages was my multidisciplinary background, including experience in several areas, which I made work for me in my PhD papers. During a break from my PhD, I decided to write about my childhood using poetry. It turned out to be very successful.
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.
