The perfect apple crisp

Thursday September 18

I knew today was going to be a good day when I left my apartment and the street sweepers spoke to me. Let me assure you that that NEVER happens but for some reason yesterday they told me good morning!

With things started off on the right foot I went in for my last day of Intensivkurs which was actually pretty enjoyable. We watched two movies: The Schwarzfahrer and Kebab Connection.
Schwarzfahrer is about an old cranky woman on a bus who complains about all of the immigrants and how they are taking work from the Germans. When the controller comes by to check their tickets, she pulls hers out and the man next to her eats it! Kebab Connection, a much longer film, is about a Turkish movie producer and his German student girlfriend whose pregnant. It's hard to really explain the storyline but it is by far one of the best German films I've ever seen.

I came home after class and read some more of Die Dreigroschenoper (I'm almost done!!), skyped, and learned some new words from my host mom including new, more "adult" words for words I already know.

And then, the apple crisp. I went to Perry's apartment, ready to redeem our apple crisp reputation, and let me tell you...we did! We made the most unbelievable apple crisp (without a recipe)! I had three servings of it!! Pictures to come later!!
