We

Well, we had a special Manners and Etiquette Day today, which we spent at a local mansion nearby our school. Our program there included toasting, great speeches, a lecture about celebration etiquette, showing photos from our study trip to Spain to other students and teachers, a fine meal of three dishes, small talk and so on, and, of course, celebrating the high amount of new students which'll we have next semester.

The Manners and Etiquette Day is held by our high school and the local mansion keeper every second year, so every student at our school can attend the Day once during their three years here. Only the 1st and the 2nd class attend the day, because the 3rd class is actually out here at this point of the year: three days of school left (which of tomorrow is a holiday) and on next Saturday we'll be celebrating their graduation.

So, in this image you can see the current ensemble of my high school right now: the 1st and the 2nd class with our main teachers, though some guys are missing. Our school ain't huge, but perhaps that's the strength of us. (We were ranked the 16th best out of 416 high schools in whole Finland this year, by the way. Not bad, I think, when remembering that we are just a small countryside school in the middle of fields and forests.) Also notice that everybody's dressed finely. :)

Ps. I'm fifth on the right in the first (kneeled) line.
