My Attempt

Rob is a business student with no soul. I'm an engineering student with no free time. Rob's going to France this September. I'm staying in Austin. He's going to study abroad in a new, exciting part of Europe just outside of Paris. I'm not.

Rob's been my roommate for our freshman and sophomore years at UT Austin and currently, this summer. Needless to say, we've spent a lot of time together over the past couple of years, and so this next semester will be weird. So maybe this blog is just my coping mechanism to try and prevent the uncontrollable sobbing that's likely to come.

I'd like to think this blog is dedicated to all the normal people out there who aren't going to study abroad, all those people who want to live an exciting life in the great US of A. But really, this blog is about keeping track of my impossible, and vain, attempt to have a more exciting life than Rob.
