If only I could think of a witty title. I always swear I'm going to make my blogs hilarious and yet I can never think while I'm writing. Must be more creative. Hopefully these will improve as I go.
My name is Amy Polkey. I am an Anthropology Major and an English Major (all of my English requirements are done so I am all Anthro all the time, oh yeah!). I started doing Anthropology because I was really into the physical aspect (and am still really interested in Osteology) and yet I was totally taken in by the culture side of things as well. I have always had a bit of a preoccupation with things that revolve around superstitions and rituals around death. Taking the Folklore course offered at Uvic was such a blast as well.
Anthropology has become a bit of a family thing now, my brother just graduated from Uvic last year. I'm sure a few of you even had classes with him (and by now have probably noticed how familiar my last name is... Polkey is not that common. If you ever meet one chances are I am immediately related to them). We have little nerd outs every now and then just talking about different anthro-related things we've been into recently. He doesn't live on the island anymore so now we just text and have even been planning a Skype chat just to share our nerdiness.
Well I guess that will do for now. Comment or post if you want to chat! I swear I'm a totally decent person to chat with!
