Lunchtime Mint, Part II

Today, I went to the Mint's lunch at the pastor's home. It was a lovely lunch; it consisted of a Korean dish composed of rice, peppers, tomatoes, and olives (no idea what it's called, but it was good!), pasta, lasagna, and cheese and biscuts (ie, crackers). It was accompanied by wine, apple juice, and orange juice (and, of course, the obligatory tea and coffee). I spent most of my time lounging in a rocking chair in the office/library, talking to the other assembled students who gravitated to the library. One of the topics discussed was the recent Students' Guild meeting (see my post from 31 October for more details about that).

We also took a group picture, which was supposed to be in the living room. However, the living room wasn't large enough to hold everyone, as apparently more people had arrived than expected, judging from the shortage of plates, glasses, and chopsticks (which went very fast). Instead, we retreated to the garden, and lined up along the fence, where we were shot twelve times by five different cameras.

It was also announced that we would be having another Sunday lunch in the Common Room next week, which is to continue through the month of November. Apparently, the side that favored the extension of the October Lunch Programme won out, so we'll have to see how long these lunches last, and how frequently they take place.

In other news, Alabama is now rightfully ranked #1 in the AP and Coaches' Polls. I assume the BCS Standings will agree. Now, for dealing with LSU . . .
