So, the Jenna thing ended up being a total bust. The day we went, it poured. Unfortunately the event was being held outside, so everyone ran into the restaurant and none of the servers seemed to know what was going on. We sat there for a half an hour waiting to be waited on or something, but it never happened and we didn't see Jenna anywhere. The dogs didn't even get to hang out with anyone since it was raining. That was a poorly organized fundraiser event. Poor doggies.
We're leaving tomorrow for the cruise. Actually, we're going to Nate's parents tomorrow and then leaving Sunday. We're planning on going on a historical pub tour in Halifax and probably just a walking tour or something in St. John. It should be chilly there, but that's cool. Haha, get it... cool.
When we come back, it's going to be a whirlwind of excitement. This comes out a few days after we come back:

I'm excited. Also, I think the new Harry Potter movie comes out the day we return. We also have to get our lease signed for our new apartment and start getting stuff ready to be transferred.
Today I woke up with a sort throat, was sweaty, and generally felt like crap. If it had been some other time, I probably would have called off work, but since I won't be there all next week and had a lot of stuff to wrap up today, I had to go. I still feel kind of sick, but slightly better. Nate has had a hacking cough for like 3 weeks. I guess we're dying.
We went bowling tonight with Bill and Steve. I won the first round because I rock and lost the second round because I had tired arm syndrome. Bowling rocks. I forgot to take my ball though. D'oh! It's like the one piece of sporting equipment that I own and I only get to utilize it like two times a year and I forgot it! I'm an ass.
I bought two new books recently... Fat Land: How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World by Greg Critser and Animal Liberation by Peter Singer. The last book I read was Food Politics by Marion Nestle and it was really interesting. Like it says on the back, it is recommended to anyone who eats food. Feel free to borrow it! I have been on a big reading kick lately... I hadn't read books for pleasure since like high school prior to this past year. Reading is fun, especially when it isn't school related. However, it takes me like 3 months to finish a book because I just read it on the bus on the way to and from class or at lunch time.
Nothing else much exciting to report. I'll have lots of Canada pics and stories to report when I get back next Friday. Toodley poo.
