Wednesday, 4 October 2017 - Erev Sukot

I got up a little late this morning and didn't go out for an early walk.

After a slightly early breakfast, though, I put my laptop and 3 different headsets into my little pack and walked into town. I arrived at Mors computer shop a few minutes before they were supposed to open, but, miracle of miracles, they were actually already open!

Now I've finally got the whole microphone situation figured out. They showed me where I needed to click, so I was able to verify that the new headset I had just bought yesterday was, indeed, working fine. After walking back home (and resting a little), I checked all the headsets I have. The mic on the one I had been using was not working (which is what started the whole issue, really). A couple of other ones I had were okay. I used one of the old ones for the one lesson I had today, and I think I found out why I have NOT been using it: the sound level in its speakers is quite low, and there's some cracking sound in the right side. I made it through the lesson without trouble, but, in the future, I'll use the new one I bought which puts out much better sound.

I taught only a single 1-unit lesson today: 12:00-12:45.

After I was finished teaching, I was just lazy for a while, until I ate lunch quite late. I had 2 carrots, a cucumber, a tomato, sunflower seeds, salad dressing, 2 beets, and a vegan shnitzel.

After lunch, I set to work on finishing my music production project and its documentation. Then I submitted the whole thing for peer review in the system. Now I'll be completely done with the course as soon as I do the 3 required reviews of my fellow students' projects.

Feeling very good about finishing that, I set out this evening for a walk and ended up going around a slightly shortened version of the big loop, but in the reverse direction. The sun had already disappeared, and by the time I got up to the Harim Road at Nakhal Shakhamon, the Sukot full moon had just come up over Aqaba. I took several pics over the course of my walk, ending with today's pic of the day, after dark, with the moon over Aqaba and the gulf, as seen from the south end of the Sheshet HaYamim bridge over Nakhal Shakhamon:

I walked a total of 9.9 kilometers today.
