Orna-mental

Another longstanding (or as longstanding as you get in a two-year MBA course) tradition happened tonight - the Mucker's Ornament Exchange! You may remember last year's, a convoluted, high-stakes game of nerves and wits. Do you steal or do you unwrap unseen? Three steals and it's locked, so timing is everything. What's most popular? Can couples contrive?

Anyway, this year Hannah and I supplied a couple of state themed decoration - Texas and California. Both were popular, with Kathy and Patrick making off with the Lone Star bauble and Dana and Amir claiming California (on the third steal). We also finished with a winner: the thrice-stolen and highly popular glow-in-the-dark colour-change penguin. Result!



Mum!! You're so embarrassing!


The concealed ornaments are ready.

Amir faces a difficult choice.



The self-styled 'Dream Study Team' of Sagy, Hannah, and Amanda, reunited for the first time this semester.



And here is our prize.
