I slept reasonably well last night and got up in time for a nice walk and even a little work-out at the gym this morning. There was less breeze than yesterday, and I also wore socks and athletic shoes instead of flip-flops, so I was very comfortable today.
I taught 10 units of Berlitz lessons today, all individual students (3 from France, 1 from Germany, and 1 from Perú but living in France): 9:00-10:30, 10:30-12:00, 3:00-4:30, 5:00-6:30, and 7:00-8:30. The one at 10:30 will be listened to by the lead instructor, and tomorrow she'll be giving me feedback. Although I think the lesson went pretty well, I always dread the feedback sessions because whoever does them always seemed to work especially hard to find everything wrong with them that she (they have ALWAYS been women) possibly can and make sure I don't get a very high score. I've had at least 3 different evaluators over the years, and they're all the same, so I think it must be Berlitz policy to make sure no one gets high marks. Of course, maybe I'm really just not that good, but I'm NOT willing to accept that. I'm resigned to it by now, but I still don't like it.
We went to Greg café again for lunch today. David celebrated the 2nd day of Shavuot (which we actually do NOT do here in Israel, but they do everywhere else in the world) by having cheesecake again. I had their delicious fatoush salad. The mall was REALLY busy today, and we were lucky to find a parking place.
