Breakfast; Easter; Starbucks

Good morning from Amelia's Ward, Linden, Guyana! It is a good morning. I am having coffee and cross buns (thanks to a friend of my sister who must have made lots and lots of cross buns for her family). I wanted cross buns and a kite for Easter. I have the cross buns. I hope I get the kite soon. I heard that kites will be sold nearby. I am enjoying the coffee although I prefer tea (because of less caffeine, and so on). I made Starbucks instant coffee. I did not purchase the Starbucks instant coffee from a store in Guyana. It came from the U.S.

It has been a while since I purchased something I like from a Starbucks store. I shopped at Starbucks quite often. I remember when I purchased a grilled cheese sandwich and a frappuccino from Starbucks New Carrollton the day I planned to go see Wakanda Forever (see pictures here: https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2022/11/out-and-about-nov12.html). I planned to see the movie at the Regal Cinemas over 5 miles away in Bowie, Maryland. I did not get to see the movie. I know a Starbucks store opened in Guyana nearly a year ago. Maybe I'll be able to visit the store sometime when I'm close to Amazonia Mall on the East Bank.

Internet

I do not know what happened to the internet connection at home. I am currently using my phone. I guess I will be visiting the library or Starbucks soon. It has been a while since I completed a school assignment/paper in Starbucks. In the past, I sat in Starbucks and worked on important stuff.

Paper on Real-Time Systems

From the introduction of a paper on real-time business intelligence systems (shown here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BFKefjHmtZe/),  I saw that I selected industries to review based on my background and experiences. For the paper, I selected: (1) transit companies that provide real-time updates on the next bus or train, (2) credit card companies that take action based on suspected fraud (from monitoring of account activity), and (3) finance companies that need real-time market data updates. More on these selections will come later.

One of my Instagram posts (https://www.instagram.com/p/BFCKKeoiyIj/) reminded me that I worked on this assignment at Starbucks. I can see my notebook and pen in the picture. Sometimes I went low tech. That Starbucks is in Gainesville, FL. I prepared quite a few papers at that Starbucks. 

 

 

 

 

I also prepared a lot of papers in the computer lab at my apartment community in Gainesville, FL. The environment in the lab was a little like an office environment. I frequented there after a plumbing accident flooded my apartment. I found some Instagram posts that reminded me of the flood as well as papers I prepared in the lab:

"Waiting to "take possession" of my apartment...work should finish today...in the meantime, I am in the computer lab working on my assignment/paper..this one is interesting...it deals with website design and I will use or maybe reference an article I wrote in 2014."
