  An interview with Avgi Kalogianni  

We had eleven students here for three weeks working on a documentary on a little known archaeological site called Despotiko. We finished a 12 minute video in this time, plus three smaller videos of our primary interviews. This much work is an amazing feat for even seasoned professionals, much less a group of students who… Read more »

Today we finally wrapped up the documentary.  As the final edits were being made, everyone backed up all of the work they had done on hard drives and cleaned up the school.  When the movie was ready, we got together as a group to watch the final production.  It was really great seeing all our… Read more »

It is getting progressively harder and harder to wake up these days. Not so much related to being tired, but more related to the fact that the trip is coming to an end and I am not ready for that. On the happier side, today is Riley’s 21st birthday! It was actually cool because the… Read more »

Today was the first day of our three-day break. Most of us were traveling to Mykonos this weekend… Read more »

Today, of course, is Saturday. All of the students were off at another place, so we started our day around noon by getting on the ferry to Antiparos. Thomas and Wen were with us, along with my mom, Joy, and my dad, Albert. We then got off and drove up to the cave of Antiparos… Read more »

  Today was a typical work day. I woke up early, grouched a bit, went to get coffee and then headed up to the school by 9:00 am. Once I arrived at school, I went around to inquire what everyone planned to do today. The video team (Thomas, Andy, Jiachi, Sheheryar, and Osvaldo) were busy… Read more »
