As the living lab approaches their four week mark of being on island, they’ve come to expect the unexpected. The first week was action packed chaos filled to the brim with activities; students became acquainted with islanders, the landscape, and each other. We attended a vigil for an abused local and later on read Moby Dick to entertain the community’s ears. As everyone settled down, poetry became the focus for students and beautiful things were written by even the least poetic of people. Beaches, salt marshes, and other natural wonders were explored to inspire and trigger the minds of us EEOS nerds. To cap our third week here, we are snowed in! Six of us (Amelia Atwood, Sophia Bass Werner Jordan, Richard Corrado, Llewyn Froome, Travis Lowery, Jeremy Raynor, and myself) braved the ice storm this afternoon and the streets are flooded, some areas at least three feet deep. It’s impossible to see more than a few feet ahead of yourself. So this is our experience thus far, tune you in later and hope you’re all staying safe!
