Week 1: Introduction

Hi guys. My name is Austin Vaughan and I am a senior from Plano, Texas. I have lived in Plano for most of my life other than a few years spent in Chicago. I am a health and exercise sciences major with an emphasis on pre-dental. The overall goal is to become an oral surgeon but I've got some time before that is even in the cards. Do to my major and personal life I am very interested in health and fitness. I actually work at a nutrition shop in Norman and I am also training to compete in my very first triathlon. I also really enjoy the outdoors and spend a lot of time duck hunting and snowboarding. This summer I was lucky enough to visit Italy and spend some time abroad. This was an amazing experience and I loved being able to see an entirely different style of living. I'd have to say my favorite city in Italy was Florence. There were thousands of people everywhere we looked and their nightlife was great. I am currently planning a backpacking trip for myself and two other friends for the upcoming summer as a graduation gift to ourselves. We will be visiting at least 8 different countries and be in Europe for over a month. I am also planning on heading to Crested Butte, Colorado for the fourth year in a row for the upcoming spring break. My friends and I have made a tradition out of this trip and none of us are really beach people anyways. I cannot wait to be out of this miserable heat and surrounded on all sides by mountains and snow. I hope this sheds a little light upon who I am and what I am interested in. Anything else that any would like to know please feel free to ask.
