Valentina Karceva

Our first class was with our Russian professor, Valentina Karceva.Due to my great knowledge of the Russian language, we got along famously.This is probably why the whole class decided that I should be the one to share our intentions with her.Since the revolution was proving to be such a success, we were thrilled to be able to show our compassion for our brave nation before our Russian representative, Valentina Karceva.
...
Karceva did not object, in fact she remained standing along with the dean.

The rest of the period spent in class was quite awkward.I was smiling at Valentina in such a malicious way that I was sure she could read my unconfined enthusiasm through my radiant eyes.
...
I did well on all the exams with the exception of Russian geology which was held by Valentina Karceva.She gave me a satisfactory mark, but I knew that I had done better than that.This is how she got her revenge with me, because I represented the nation that was fighting against the Russians and she stood by her own country that suppressed our revolution.

After the exams, I went home to my parents in Gyergyoszarhegy.I didn't wander around too much there either, except to see my fiancée, Jolanka and tell her about my adventures in Kolozsvar.She got very scared as well.She knew of the events in Hungary and also how the Securitate (the Romanian secret police) dealt with people who tried to "disturb the peace".
