Houston<\/a> grew up in Texas, much to his dismay, was named after the city he was born in. \u00a0He stayed mostly to himself as a kid, always more interested in books and school, then sports. \u00a0His studies paid off, when he got a full scholarship to Yale University.<\/p>\n

He settled into school quickly, studying Geology specializing in seismology. \u00a0While taking courses in Biology he met San Lin, the two ended up being lab partners.<\/p>\n

After class he asked her out for coffee.<\/p>\n
