Sil Jacobus Alexander Kiewiet de Jonge

Class Year '23

I like the ocean and waves and surfing and diving and swimming and skating and sailing and languages and history and people and jazz and shanties and singing and a healthy planet and a healthy community.

Getting here:

3 days at Seguin island haunted me and the rest was a breeze.

Classes

Mariney stuff and ecology and history and some policy…

Favorite class:

Marine Biology!!

My approach to human ecology:

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Life on Mount Desert Island:

Playing in the shore break on Sand Beach without getting frostbite in my toes, working at sea with captain Toby, making friends, making music, dancing.

Activities, traditions, celebrations:

Camping, Waterpolo, Catching Lobster, Fishing, Working at Sea, Ice skating.

Adventures yet to come:

Sailing the world, Becoming a better trumpet player, Eating healthily, Sending more letters, Climbing a “real” mountain, Seeing more animals, Learning from people, Helping some people, Helping myself, Becoming myself.

Best meal on campus:

Fresh Lobster if I find any…

If you enjoy funky people

Ephemera:

boatlife!
