Krudy's 20th Birthday Party

Yesterday my school celebrated its 20th anniversary. This translated into a hot air balloon showing up first thing in the morning, fun activities in the school yard, a picnic lunch, the female teachers dominating the female 8th graders in volleyball and the 8th grader boys thoroughly smacking up the male teachers in football, and a show featuring our lovely and talented students. It ended with a teacher barbeque in the school yard, with a surprise visit by naked football players who forgot to close the door while they were changing. And a teacher barbeque, of course, meant drunk colleagues playing the guitar and singing. It was a lovely day, mainly because I, as usual due to my lack of Hungarian skills, got to spend it not actually doing anything besides hanging out with my kiddies, whom I love.


Liza (a funny and crazy girl who likes to make crazy faces and leap on me from high places without warning) and Lilu (one of the sassiest little girls I've ever met, who regurlarly flounces around the classroom in giant pink sunglasses and ridiculous clip-on earrings) from 1C.

Lili (at top, who will someday be an evilly awesome fashion mogul) and sweet, quiet Betti and Jucus from 1B.

Me with Kriszti, Orsi, and Bori (whom I call pony), from 2B.

Cheering on the poor male teachers (especially super-competitive Balint!) with some of 1C, from left: Niki, Livia, Vanda, Reka, and Anna.

Anna, Dorka, a 1A student, and Sara get some stretching in. Dorka has this face on at pretty much all times, and often thinks that she is a tiger.

And this, folks, is why I am so happy in my job. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday, Krudy. Sorry Balint and the guys were humbled by the 13 year olds. Perhaps a scooter ride will refresh him!
