Happy 4th

I spent my 4th of July in Cape Canaveral. It has been a wonderful break away from things, as well as some bad news for me. I got my associates degree in Maryland, and apparently Florida's transfer guidelines are more than what I have. 

I only completed 62 credits with two Ds, meanwhile Florida universities do not accept Ds and require 67 credits. I was not prepared to return to community college, especially after the age of 22. Today is a really picky and hard to deal with day for me. I am still glad to be moving to Florida, but this news is going to have me feeling down for a while.

Goodbye Stranger

On Sunday, Heimerich and I returned his gear to our unit commander. It was a good day spent in my home state. Before returning his gear, I took a picture because I'd love to have a portraiture necklace made as a souvenir for the happy 8 years of Revolutionary War reenacting I was in. There is a small running joke that the green ribbon in Heimerich's coat had become a "unit heirloom". It was something I gave to him 3 or 4 years ago, when he joined the hobby and it had made an appearance at every event. Heimerich took the ribbon off of his coat, but I'm not sure what he is going to make of it. 

On Wednesday, I'll be in Florida to start my apartment search.
