SF to NYC Day 8: Go Tigers!

Y'all staying dry? Let's go Tigers (southern accent.). That's how I imagine all people in Baton Rouge talk, but they don't all have southern accents, I just love southern accents, and Chicago accents for that matter.

So I slept super all after my long drive and Chadd made some tasty eggs for breakfast. We then went to Chadd's new study office where he will be taking classes for his new program. Chadd is also going back to school! He was accepted to the best Landscape Architecture program in the country which is at LSU. Pretty awesome since he wants to take what he learns here and apply it to his family business once he's done. It's a 3 year program and I am sure he will crush it. His studio and building where most of his classes will be is awesome. Chadd already has his desk setup and is already doing homework, a week before any of the other students get there. Always getting after it. LSU campus is awesome. Huge quad and Spanish looking buildings. You know the red tile roofs, is that Spanish? We walked around campus for a while. Made it down frat row which brought us back to shot gunning and strikeouts, I think I convince Chadd to pledge again. Chadd also found a giant wire wheel thing which he wanted as a coffee table so he rolled it around all day, all over campus, many people looked only a few asked. We then walked over to the stadium to check out Mike the LSU mascot. It is an actual live Bengal tiger in a big cage/enclosure. This dude is so freaking big. And you can get really close to him on the fence. And since Chadd had that big wheel he kept following Chadd around creeping up looking like he wanted to eat him. It was awesome.

We got home got cleaned up had some dinner then wanted to go out. But we found out the Baton Rouge had a ten o'clock curfew so all the bars we wanted to go to were closing at like 9. It was nuts, never been in a curfew before. We did get to Barcadia for a bit which had a million games which was fun, and had the Holiber's favorite: punching bag game, my arm is a little sore.

Bought some beers for home, hung out a bit with the neighbors then went to bed. All in all it was great to check out the campus and get the new school feeling. It got me excited to start school in a few weeks! (holy shit)

Next stop New Orleans, party time, excellent.
