Back in October I spoke to a group of computing students who were directly entering the 3rd year from other universities.

Another lot has their induction today. When I say a 'lot', I'd been told up to 30. In the event it was only half a dozen. What I'd also not been told or realized myself was that the half dozen were all amongst the international students I saw yesterday. There goes the first 10 minutes of my talk.

Still, it meant I could directly to the 'meat' of what I was showing them and finish a bit earlier without having to feel rushed. But note to self: next year expect the international students!
