the best way to celebrate

Yesterday marked my official last exam for the Human Resources Management program and to celebrate, Nathan and I went to fill our bellies with some spicy Chinese Muslim food. My taste buds aren't normally exposed to this much heat so I was sweating with a runny nose all throughout my meal. This, of course, didn't stop me from stuffing my face with lamb. We are definitely coming back to try out some of their other dishes. This was my secret restaurant #3 and so far, all my picks have blown Nathan's taste buds out of this world. He's bringing me to his pick next week, but I highly doubt that it'll top our lamb themed night. I will just have to wait and see where he brings me.

After dinner we decided to walk off our meal and to hunt for Mr. Chestnut's chestnut truck. Unfortunately, we didn't end up getting our roasted snack, but we did manage to get some lovely mosquito bites along the way.

This was a great way to end such an exhausting week. I don't think there's a better way to celebrate than with food - especially since my exam-time diet is a pretty poor one filled with overly processed foods and snacks. Also, I don't ever remember feeling so relieved and happy after finishing my other degrees back in University.  And I definitely don't remember working and studying so hard for finals! Now that school is out of the way, I can finally start on all my summer projects: cleaning, reorganizing and painting my room, biking, camping, sewing, photographing and the dreaded job hunting.

But tonight...I make scones!
