Wednesday, 1 May 2013

I didn't sleep as well last night. Of course, I hadn't taken any pill to help me, either. In the end, though, I think I got enough sleep.

I taught 7 units of Berlitz lessons today (although no one showed up for the first class, probably because of the May Day holiday in Europe): 9:00-10:30, 3:00-5:15, and 6:30-8:00.

I discovered that we were out of one of David's meds this morning, so I called right away to get an appointment to get new prescriptions for all our meds. Luckily, I was able to get an appointment at 10:50. Unfortunately, just as I was starting to talk to the doctor, the electricity went out at the clinic, so he couldn't get on the computer. I waited a bit and then decided to leave, at which point the power came back on, so I stayed a bit longer. However, before the doctor's computer had even finished re-booting, the power went out again. With that, I just left our cards with the doctor so that he could print out the prescriptions later, and I returned home.

I filled out a couple of pre-class surveys and watched the first video for my next class on Coursera. This class is called "Introduction to Data Science". It's going to be quite interesting, I think, but it will probably be more challenging for me, too, since my programming and (very limited) data processing skills are so very out-of-date. Still, I DO know how to program, and I even TAUGHT programming a couple of times (using the Pascal language) many, many years ago.

We ate lunch at Greg café today. David had half of an omelet sandwich, and I ate the other half, together with the Israeli side salad that came with it and an order of edamame (yum!). Again they didn't have ice-café, though, so David had a chocolate milkshake, and I had a mixture of carrot and orange juice which was interesting and quite good.

This evening, David had a long conversation with his sister in Ohio. I joined in here and there, as well.
