Coco was scheduled for an 8:30 tour of FSU. We got up and out of the house before 8 am. As fate would have it, the FSU Visitor Center is in the Doak Campbell stadium complex. Visitor Parking is located right next to the Unconquered statue, which he wanted to see.
"How hot is it?" asked Coco.
"70."
"It feels so hot!"
I responded, "you do know you wanted to go to school in the south, right? You know it is only going to heat up as the day goes on. And most of the time it is hot and humid?"
"Yeah."
We had the standard informational session. It was actually very good. FSU now has fall, spring and summer acceptance. Those are great programs. It should help Coco's chances of getting in. His grades will be a hindrance but his SAT's scores will bail some of that out.
Coco noticed that besides bricks being used on the buildings, they were used on the walkway. It was like FSU was taunting him. He seemed fine with it, despite his aversion to brick. The beautiful landscaping and palm trees helped.
Coco was also fascinated that football tickers were included in the tuition price. He expected it to be like Auburn, where football tickets were purchased separately.
In the afternoon, we took in a FSU baseball game. It was $2 Tuseday. $2 to see a top 5 ranked baseball team. The stadium was beautiful. It rained most of the time. By the 8th inning, Coco had finally had enough (which was far later than me, but I was not going to admit that), so we left a 1-1 ballgame. FSU went on to win, scoring 5 runs right after we left. This trip only cemented FSU as the leader in the clubhouse for his list.
