So then I heard about the KIIS Greece trip when I was a freshman at Ball State, and I determined I was going to go before I graduated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This past summer, Alisha joined 22 other students from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kiis.org\">Kentucky Institute for International Studies<\/a> and five faculty members, three from Ball State, for 33 days in Greece.\u00a0 Alisha spent seven days in Athens, eleven traveling by bus to Delphi, Olympia, Mycenae, Argos, Corinth, and Nauflion, and fifteen days on the islands of Mykonos, Santorini, Delos, Naxos, and Sifnos.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Students on KIIS study abroad programs are required to take at least two classes with faculty accompanying them.\u00a0 Alisha took \u201cMythology\u201d with Dr. Richard Jackson King and \u201cDay to Day in Ancient Greece\u201d with Dr. Chris Shea, both Ball State faculty members in the Department of Modern Languages and Classics.\u00a0 \u201cI picked Dr. King&#8217;s class,\u201d said Alisha \u201cbecause I love mythology and, even though I have read several mythology books already, you never stop learning about mythology because there are so many variations of the myths and stories.\u00a0 Dr. Shea&#8217;s class interested me because I think it&#8217;s intriguing to compare the lives of ancient Greeks to that of modern Greeks, and even to my own life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the 33 days abroad, students visited at least 27 museums and archeological sites.\u00a0 One specific site appealed to Alisha\u2019s Creative Writing side: the Kastalian Springs at the sacred site of Delphi.\u00a0 The springs, nestled between the archeological sites featuring the Temple of Apollo and the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia, were praised by the ancient Greeks for the pure, bubbling waters used by visitors to Delphi seeking advice from the Delphic Oracle and used by athletes to purify themselves before competing in the Pythian Games. \u00a0These waters were also renowned by poets\u2014Roman and Romantic\u2014who felt that drinking the waters would enhance the poetic spirit.<\/p>\n<p>For Alisha, this spring \u201cwas exciting to visit because of its association with writing.\u201d\u00a0 She added that \u201cancient poets used to go there to drink the water in hopes of acquiring inspiration from the water. Maybe I&#8217;ll write the next best seller now that I drank the water too!\u201d\u00a0 Overall, Delphi was Alisha\u2019s favorite site: \u201cYou always hear about the Temple of Apollo, and it&#8217;s so incredible to actually see it in person.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2687\" style=\"width: 555px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bsuenglish.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/alishakastalianspring1.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2687\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2687\" src=\"http:\/\/bsuenglish.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/alishakastalianspring1.jpg\" alt=\"*Photo provided by Alisha Layman\" width=\"545\" height=\"968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2013\/01\/10100141\/alishakastalianspring1.jpg 2250w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2013\/01\/10100141\/alishakastalianspring1-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2013\/01\/10100141\/alishakastalianspring1-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2013\/01\/10100141\/alishakastalianspring1-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2013\/01\/10100141\/alishakastalianspring1-394x700.jpg 394w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2687\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">*Photo provided by Alisha Layman<\/p><\/div>\n<p>One characteristic of students who experience such programs as <a href=\"http:\/\/greece2010.wetpaint.com\/\">KIIS Greece<\/a> is that they seek opportunities to travel again, often to the same locations.\u00a0 For Alisha, \u201cif I had the opportunity to revisit any of the sites, I would definitely choose Delos.\u201d\u00a0 Delos is a small island roughly at the center of the Cyclades and was considered by the ancients to be the birthplace of Apollo, and one of the most venerated sacred places for Greeks, Romans, and early Christians.\u00a0 Once home to thousands, now it is the permanent home for less than 15, who tend to the extensive archaeological remains. \u00a0\u201cI was actually one of three students who stayed on the island until the last ferry, but I still feel as though I didn&#8217;t spend enough there. There are so many amazing ruins to see there: beautiful floor mosaics, temple remnants, statues, etc. I just didn&#8217;t have enough time to see it all!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many wondered why Alisha would want to visit a country that has recently seen its share of social turmoil.\u00a0 \u201cThere were several people back in the States who wondered why I&#8217;d want to go to Greece during the political turmoil,\u201d she said. \u00a0\u201cIt was definitely not as bad as people were thinking, at least in the areas we were. Sure, we saw riot police and encountered a few demonstrations, and I even saw some more violent activities, but you just have to stay smart. Avoid areas where most demonstrations take place, walk away from dangerous situations. Just like in any other country, you just need to stay aware.\u201d\u00a0 Despite the hectic schedule and exercising caution, Alisha values most what she describes as the \u201clittle moments with myself,\u201d moments when \u201cI thought, &#8216;Wow. Homer wrote about this place and I&#8217;m actually here&#8217; or &#8216;So-and-so mythological figure was said to have done such-and-such here and now here I am.\u2019\u201d\u00a0 It brought \u201cthings to life for me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><i>(For more information on traveling to Greece with this program, contact Drs.
