Three weeks ago today, the takeover of 17 EEOS students arrived on the island of Nantucket with vision and passion (and a beard).  The program had officially began with Len Germinara teaching our opening Ecopoetics class, that seemed to have a profound affect on all of us.  Len, who was an amazing teacher by the way and opened up a creative side in me I never thought existed.  The house came together within three weeks as a team, like the environment “Harmony”.  Adjusting to the schedule and participating in events here on Nantucket settled us in.  I think the best part of coming down here was everyone having the right positive attitude, that we were here to do our study and take over the island metaphorically.  In all actuality the island seemed to have an inspring affect on everyone and took us over.
