#16: Amendment
Hi guys!
Normally I post these in the mornings, but I’ve been super busy the past week, and this morning in particular. Sorry to make you wait.
I also decided that it’s silly for me to retype links to everyone’s entries when you can just go to last week’s comments. :) (Also a time saving method!)
So in any case, this week’s topic is amendment, taken from a syllabus from last semester. I enjoy letting you know how I come up with these topics.
Write away! And clicky-clicky in last week’s comments to read everyone’s entries!

#15: Congratulations
Hey guys! Hope last week was good to everyone. It seems like we’re getting some new people, so I’d like to direct anyone who hasn’t been there already to the welcome message. The word “anamnesis” means “a recalling to mind; reminiscence,” and Pete and I were thinking it could be a good way for people to share their anecdotes or reflections about things that have happened to them at some point. Check out the welcome page and let me know if you have any questions!
I really enjoyed reading the entries last week, as always. This week’s prompt is congratulations. I just saw it on a letter. Again, my scientific method is astounding!
And clicky-clicky on some links and read last week’s entries.

#13: Waiting
Welcome to the first weekly anamnesis at its new home!
This week’s topic is waiting. And as always, below are the writers for last week’s topic.
Rose - I thrive on stability.
Angela - Last night, as is sometimes the case, drinks were warranted.
Karen - Warrant makes me think of police procedures; you know, “Get a warrant to search the premises.”
Julia - “I can’t remember it! I have looked all through the book and I can’t find the blasted thing anywhere,” I said in frustration as I slammed the book onto the table.
SomeGirl - I was 11, maybe 12. Amanda (yes this is her real name) and I were best of friends.
Heather - My step-sister lived in a different world than I; even when she stayed with us her rules were different.
Amanda B - I like to think of my past as travels through different worlds.
Caitlin - Rich stole into my life like a masterful thief with his eye on the prize and a natural inclination for deception.
Brandon - Thirty years later she would continue to lose children.
Ms Pants - In grade school, I had a crush on a kid named Eddie.
Me, Natalie - It was not always stated.
