A Day in the Life
Amanda November 13th, 2008
Applied anthropology is anthropology at the coal face, with all that’s good and bad. For those of you who might have no idea what a typical day in the field is like for an applied anthropologist, or who even might be considering a career in applied anthropology, the following post is a snapshot of life in a typical day’s fieldwork.
The Mission:
Ms Beach Party
gadget November 2nd, 2008
It’s been a while since we last updated the blog.
We’ve both been very busy at work. I was acting as Regional Manager for 3 weeks, and Gary’s been down at Watarrka a lot. My Yoga intensive is fast approaching, and another chapter of the thesis is out of the way, with another hot on its heels.
Gary also went in the Masters Games (basketball) and his team won a silver medal. Of course, there were only two teams in their age grade, so you can read between the lines there, if you like!
Yesterday, Rhiannon went in the Lassaster’s Casino ‘Best Beach Body’ competition. She did this partly as a bit of fun, but mostly because of the $500 prize money. She’s saving every penny at the moment, getting ready for her move to Perth and trip OS next month.
Well, she went in and… WON!!!
We took these photos of her getting ready for the beach party.
So glamourous!
