greetings, oh fellow environmentally-inclined peers

I live on a small sheep farm in rural Appalachia (Athens, Ohio to be exact). My family tends to a garden teeming with a vast array of vegetables (or more accurately, my *parents* do the tending; I myself generally “harvest” which really means “eat the vegetables” ….but I digress). On our farm, several ducks stroll through the apple orchard, a flock of chickens squawk at ungodly hours of the night, and our black lab — Ellie — runs haphazardly through the beds of kale. I enjoy taking naps in the garden on Summer afternoons, often using a long, boring book as a makeshift pillow. When conscious, I dabble in running, biking, making elaborate omelets from duck eggs and observing the twitter accounts of my favorite poets. Occasionally, I unicycle down the meandering dusty road near my house. Often, I remove birds trapped in our wood stove (they fly in through the chimney… it’s quite unfortunate). Since my internet functions at the pace of dying, elderly snail, I generally read or simply stare at walls rather than *sigh* consume online entertainment, which has left me tragically out of the loop in regards to ….Everything.

Another Fun and Exciting Fact which I tried to incorporate into the above paragraph but to no avail: my family uses a composting toilet!! it’s really excellent, would recommend.

At Wellesley, I’m a class of 2022 Environmental Studies/English major who is thoroughly incompetent in the realm of STEM. You may have seen me on the stage during WCT’s Indecent as a very passionate rabbi, on the frisbee field valiantly attempting (and epically failing) to play frisbee, or reciting poetry as part of Wellesley’s CUPSI team. Or perhaps you have seen me eating a sandwich in the English department hallway, as I am wont to do.
