Melanie's Mostly Writing

A few weeks ago, before the previous teachers left, we went to Outback Steakhouse for lunch together. I ordered chicken salad. The seasoning was off as the chicken was too salty. The thing that I couldn’t get over though was how sweet the cheese soup was. The bread and butter were sweet too. I have experienced this before, in South Korea, with garlic bread crusted in a sugar glaze. I still just don’t understand why everything is so sweet.

Perhaps, in an alternate universe, there is a South Korea where they season things correctly. We are watching Dark Matter season 2 right now, and it’s made me read up on superposition, so that I can better understand what’s going on. It’s getting a bit confusing with various copies of the same character moving around different versions of Chicago. If you like science fiction though, I highly recommend this Apple TV series. I’m going to read the original book by Blake Crouch too.

  • Of Sharing and Savouring

    Yesterday, I shared a post about mental health challenges and how they impact my creativity and writing. After rereading it, I deleted it as I didn’t feel comfortable sharing such personal information. It’s very difficult, in today’s online-all-the-time culture, to know what to share and what to keep to yourself. I’m currently reading two things.…

  • Of Classes and Compliments

    I got a new class yesterday. Just three students, but I really like them. They were so polite and did their work no problem. They were a breath of fresh air. As a teacher, I know students are human and have feelings and will act up sometimes, but it makes a huge difference when you…

  • Of Changes and Cheese

    There are big changes going on at the academy. The other three foreign teachers are all leaving this weekend! I have enjoyed working with them all so much and am sad to see them go. But, I wish them well in what they do next. The new teachers arrived yesterday and seem very nice. It’s…
