Last night it finally rained. We got our first touch of the "rainy season" here in Mindelo. The rest of the country has reported rain, but as always, our island is the last to get rain. It's overcast today and gloomy which is actually really pleasant. I hope it continues! Everyone stays inside and the city is quiet.
ALSO, happy 4th of July. Tomorrow will mark the 3 year anniversary of my move to Cape Verde. Time has flown by and when I look back on what I have done in this country, it's amazing. My 30th birthday is on Tuesday, the 8th and I can't believe that I'm 30 either!
Anyway, as many of you know, I will be returning to the states on August 10th... for good. I have been offered a position at the University of Southern Mississippi's Gulf Coast campus. I will be considered a visiting professor for one year and then a full, nation-wide search will be done, at which point, I will hopefully be hired as a full faculty member. Anyway, I'm turning 30 and I am being offered a "big kid" job! I'm so excited and can't wait to be home. I will miss Cape Verde and the school dearly, but I am thrilled to get to live in Mississippi again.
