Win (a little bit of) Nate's Money

I get tired of teaching you calculus everyday, so we're going to have a couple writing contests this semester. Everyone can submit an entry, then we'll vote on which is the best.  The winner takes away a whopping 10 dollar prize.  The thing is, though, that I'll be submitting any entry, too.  And if I win, then I keep my money.  Good luck!  

The theme of the first round will be romance and Valentine's Day.  The only rule is that all entries must be 20 words or less. (And I reserve the right to deny an entry that might get me in trouble with Graham Spanier.) The list of entries can be found here.

The theme of the second round is what goes through your head during those awkward moments of silence that follow every question I ask in class. The entries can be found here.
