| Pumpkin to be carved this week. Meli picked it up for me in Tübingen |
Hi, everyone!
I'm a little home sick today--I miss my friends and family. Sometimes the best of times are the times I realize it would be nice to share with people I love. So here I am, giving it a try.
These past few days have been great.
Last week I started my "tutoring" with a family that lived in America for the last four years. The parents want Felix and Maya to keep up their American English, which is nearly perfect, by the way. I basically just play with the kids for a few hours and speak English (and get paid well for it). I am learning to play Pokemon...yes, Pokemon... They feed me dinner, and then I go to choir with Silke, their mom, afterwards. The choir is directed by a teacher at my school, and it's for adults. I'm pretty excited, actually!
I also got a flute on Friday. I asked last week if there was any chance the school had an extra, and to my luck, they did! It's not my flute...but it will do. Now I just need to find some music....
Today I baked an apple pie (instead of preparing for the several lessons I need to teach tomorrow). It is gonna be a late night. I'm having dinner tonight at Pierre's house with the Referendarinnen tonight. Apparently his house is really cool, so I'm looking forward to checking it out.
This week is going to be nuts, though. I am teaching Halloween all week (about ten times...two down) and then I am working with the older kids on The Civil Rights Movement. My plate is beyond full. Halloween is fun though. We talk about what they know...history...how Americans celebrate...and then learn some vocab, which I use to play bingo
Anyway, I'm sure there's more to share...there always is...but I am going to go find another way to procrastinate for a while.
But first for some pie-baking instructions via pictures. :)
 |
| step one: make the dough (and let it sit at least one night) |
 |
| two: cut up apples...fresh from our yard! |
 |
| three/four: roll out dough, mix up pie filling |
 |
| five: put it in that pan...thanks for the pan, Herr Runte |
 | |
| six: top off with more dough...I weaved it! |
 | |
| seven: bake! |
I will let you know how step eight went later (enjoy)...
Liebe Grüße!
Sara
