Weary from finals studying (or perhaps still waiting to start!), our sophomores and juniors filed into BT last Thursday evening proudly carrying carefully wrapped presents.  It was our annual Christmas party gift exchange!  We started the night off with some incredible desserts, including a chocolate fondue fountain and hot apple cider!

With anticipation in the air everyone opened their randomly selected gift.  What ensued was shock and awe at both the most desirable gifts and the least.  Among the most was a LED Maglight set and among the least desirable and most absurd was a pack of beef round tip from safeway (I think it was on sale).  And, there were many gifts in between from the practical..
