Rock Ruminations

"The Rock" - Newfoundland's nickname, attributed to the granite and rocky landcapes which wrap around coastlines of the province. It is an affectionate term towards Newfoundland, and highlights the significance of environment. Ruminations - the act of pondering; meditation.

You're never so patriotic...

Cutting the 05-studio-showcase-4

You're never so patriotic as you are when you are in a foreign land. It seems that both Lisa and I felt the need to have Canadian cakes (she made her's, I bought mine) at work today. In my case, we were having the end of semester IT Studio showcase, so there were a lot of people around anyway.

As you can see from the picture, I was even able to get my fellow canuck who has just finished the program (Dr. Xornam Apedoe) to cut the cake at the beginning of the event.

The whole thing was well received, particularly by the other international students. Funny thing is that, other than maybe watching some fireworks, with the exception of the four years I was living in Ottawa I have never much been into Canada Day.
