| Introduction | I was born in Connecticut, but have lived outside D.C. in the suburbs of Montgomery County, MD since I was six. I am currently a junior at the University of Pittsburgh, and am majoring in philosophy, psychology, and art history with a minor in studio arts and a certificate in women's studies. My tentative plan is to become a clinical psychologist for adolescent females. I have an older sister, Kristin (23) and a younger sister, Lauren (17); also my parents, Nancy and Glenn. Semester at Sea is something that I have wanted to experience ever since I first heard about it. Despite all of the research and planning that I have done, I still have no idea what to expect-- besides the voyage of a lifetime. |
