I didn’t have any appetite for five days since arrival. Finally got it back yesterday. It’s funny how my initial sentiment of Athens resounds with loneliness, I think it has something to do with traveling. At least it will help with one of the projects I plan to work during my time here. Taking photos makes me feel a lot better about being here for the next two months. Returning to Athens makes me long to see Istanbul again, I plan to intern there after this scholarship is over.

Also upon my return to Athens, I realized I need to pursue film in any way possible, that above all else it is my true/inherent interest behind every other hobby/pleasure I have. Everything I know about can be funneled into filmmaking – in/with/behind the camera.

I finished the first book in Lawrence Durrell’s Alexandria Quartet, Justine. Now I’m reading the Odyssey. Seems appropriate to read in Greece, I might even get the chance to take a road trip to the Peloponnese and see Ithaca (Odysseus’ homeland).

Sketching some ideas for films/projects…
