I woke up very early this morning but didn't let myself get out of bed until 5:00. Then I walked to the gym and worked out there a bit. Later, I took the cardboard down to the recycle bin and bought challah at the local bakery.
I taught only 4 units of Berlitz lesson today: 10:30-12:00 and 12:00-1:30. After that, we had our traditional Friday lunch at Il Pentolino.
In the afternoon, I set to work on my project for this week of Principles of Computing, and I managed to finish it all successfully well before candle-lighting time. This week, we are teaching the computer to play Tic-Tac-Toe, using the Monte Carlo method. Basically, this means playing the game out a LOT of times, keeping track of which squares seen to be the most and least successful for winning, and then moving accordingly. It was actually quite easy and fun.
In the evening, we lit candles, sipped sweet red wine, and ate the delicious whole-wheat challah I had bought to welcome Shabbat as I watched the sun do its last bit of baking Aqaba and the mountains of Edom (now in the Kingdom of Jordan) for the day. The view out our kitchen window at candle-lighting time is almost always beautiful!
