Here and there...where?

My life is now into two worlds. Talking about football and students.

Football is everywhere, a good atmosphere can be felt across the country.

Woking FC in Surrey is in the Blue Square League (as far as I can say). It is a team which plays good football, but according to one of its fans, it has not had a good start of the season. They are just above relegation.

I enjoyed their last match against Stevenage Borough. The match picked up after a rainy start and also because Woking was losing. And they did not manage to make the best of scoring opportunities. But the atmosphere is still there!

The number of fans is not as in Hull, but they cheer up a lot!!

What about my current students?


They are different, a bit more 'techie', with career aspirations. They come from different backgrounds and have different expectations. They like to talk and participate. They are very attentive. They seem to have bonded.

The course on people and technology is very good. Lots to talk about human computer interaction (HCI). I was delighted to have lectured on the ideas of Maturana, Winograd and Flores. They are useful and could help them to understand better how to design good computer systems.

So here and there, things are different but they are not to some extent. Maybe because even if we move, we keep certain things close to us.

Come on Woking F.C !
