This semester's big project is a powerpoint about several episodes of the PBS series "Spain...on the Road Again." The series features food, culture and history while four erstwhile travelers consume lots of wine during their sojourn. What could be bad about a series with Mario Batali, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mark Bittman (of the NY Times) and Claudia Bassols? Not much, in my opinion Well, there was this bed music they used throughout the series that was evocative of Carlos Santana. Some digging netted this musician from Miami and that song: The artist's name is Monterosa and the song is 'Me Lo Robo' Then I went to his website and listened to samples of the rest of the tracks on the featured album. Me gusta!

This coming week is the last week of the semester, my last as an undergrad. On tap for me: 1 final (on Wednesday) 1 paper 1 quiz 7 chapters Then the following week is finals for USF. I have two scheduled at the exact same time, the result of one of those classes occurring in Tampa and the other in Lakeland. Both professors have kindly offered to allow me alternative times to take their tests. The day after that, I have a HUGE presentation on Spain for class (en español). The following week (after graduation) is finals week for the school where I take that course. In amidst all of that is further interviewing and meetings for the committee I'm on. So, the homestretch of this semester feels more like a gauntlet. You'll all understand if the blog is heavy on short posts, right?
