I am a psychology major and an italian correlate. I plan to take a year or two off and then get my Ph.D in clinical psychology at an APA accredited program. My interest in psychology stems a lot from the causes and treatments of ttm. I have written two papers about ttm for different classes. For my physiology class I wrote a paper about the use of pharmaceuticals in the treatment of ttm. For my abnormal class I wrote a research proposal for which I created a cognitive-behavorial therapy for ttm

In the fall 2001 I studied in Bologna, Italy with a Vassar program for my italian correlate. It was an amazing time and, after a bit of culture shock and time adjusting, I never wanted to leave. It helped of course that I met, started dating and fell in love with a wonderful man. He is an American who was working in Bologna last year at his alma mater's Italian study abroad program on his year between college and grad school. I went back to Italy last year over Spring Break to visit both Bologna and him. Now he's at grad school in the States and we see each other a lot more often
