It's go time! Move-In Day (2 of 2) for the University of South Carolina. It would have really been nice to have the first move-in day. At least Coco drew the first time-slot of the day. "First one to the park.....first one to leave."
Overall, I would say it was a good move-in experience. It is still organized chaos though. The volun-tolds were there. There was not a clear leader. They didn't seem to have been give clear and consistent instructions. Coco's dorm was not cart friendly. Good news is that we were provided a cart and two volunteers to help move. Bad news is the cart was a cardboard box on an unattached set of wheels. On uneven ground, that cart design is poor.
The RM was extremely nice and very helpful. Bonus points = he is a Red Sox fan. Coco even got his bed elevated while we were there. UofSC didn't want students or parents messing with the bed frames. I wish Auburn had felt that way. Coco had his priorities. Get the smart TV up and running, then XBOX One. I will say, Demi did far less nesting than she did in Caz's room. That meant we were able to make our third Target run a lot earlier.
Coco was anxious. But all in all, I think he held it together. He was nervous about this book order. We all walked to the bookstore. I will say, it wasn't clear where to go or what to present. Coco got it done in the end. He could have done it alone but hey, he felt better with us there. A target to vent on, but what are parents for?
Best news of the day? When we went to pick up Coco for dinner, he texted that he would be a bit late. He was at the Strom Thurmond Health & Fitness Center, playing basketball with his roommate and with some new friends. That's right. He was out of his room. And he was meeting new people. I can't tell you how relieved Demi and I were. We knew our boy would be ok.
