How was the weekend? This is a very touching week since we are almost done with the semester, it is unbelievable how time flies! It seems like just yesterday when we picked you up from the airport and now it´s almost time to say goodbye.
¡Hola chicos!

- Examination at USS: Change of Date
The School of Filología at the University of Seville, in foresight of the General Strike called for next Thursday, May 9, has unilaterally determined to reschedule their exams. As classes at Universidad de Sevilla end on that day, exams that were going to be held on Thursday, May 9, are now officially moved two days in advance to Tuesday, May 7. For the time being, the School of Geografía & Historia has not made any official announcements; however, similar measures are to be expected. Please check your emails for any updates. Further information will be sent in the following hours.

- The end of the semester is approaching rapidly! We know that a lot of you have accumulated many things over the semester that you do not want to bring home to the states with you. Please donate those items to CEA and they will be brought to an ONG organization. Rather than throw these things away, please donate them to those in need. Here is a list of the things you can donate:
- Clothes, shoes, bags, hygeine products (half used bottles of shampoo, perfume, unused razors etc) unused medicine

Into the culture...
Tapas bar recommendation: La Cacharrería
Description: This is the very best place to have authentic carrot cake! It is quite small but charming place to hang out! Seriously, best cakes in the city!
Spanish recipe of the day: Leche frita (Fried milk)
Preparation: First mix the yolks, the sugar and the cornstarch in a bowl. Then add the milk and mix all well; add the lemon rind and start whisking with the hand blender to get an homogeneous and thick sauce. The process is to let it get cold in the fridge so it gets curdled by the action of the cornstarch. As soon as the preparation has a jelly aspect, cut into squares, and batter with the rest of cornstarch and deep in the whisked eggs, and finally fry in abundant sunflower oil (olive oil would leave a taste not adequate for a dessert) to a mild brown color. Place the pieces on KP, and sprinkle some sugar on them.
That´s all folks,
Have a lovely week
