I think I may try for a World's Record in nappinng today.
Not a chance in hell, I'm afraid. I've gone back to bed twice so far today.
Emphasis on the "so far".
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Re: the name Shiloh Nouvel (Nouvel?) - Shiloh is okay. Although I think of it as more of a horse or dog name, but Nouvel?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Perhaps Nouvel is a family name? We do that with family surnames in my family, so we have middle names like Campbell, Warren, Nugent and Blake.

Er, actually I'm trying to figure out what to take points off for, other than formatting -- although, good Lord, how hard is "typed, double spaced, 12 point font, title and reference pages"? Most of them, no title/ref page. One of them has both of those, but is handwritten. Another, one single-spaced paragraph. These are seniors -- they've never had to type a paper before?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Archimedes was from Syracuse. It's almost undrstandable how your student could be confused.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh Robin, we've had a two-seater swing like that on our deck from spring through fall for the last three years. Last year, the wind caught the canopy and hopped the whole unit over the front railing to the ground a story below. We're having freak windbursts, because it's nearly happened several times since then, and since we're not always home when a storm comes up, we've had to take the canopy off more or less permanently.
Now, however, the windbursts have gotten more freaky and stronger--they're catching the swing seats and dragging the unit around the deck. I miss my canopy shade, especially now that the temperature has soared.
But before we had our freakish winds, the swing was the best thing, ever. I know you'll enjoy yours.

Oh, yeah. I'd forgotten that. He actually told me that his sister told him that, and it wasn't clear whether she was playing a joke on him or really thought that, but I'm glad to have that link. Of course, it proves that not only does he not know much about the history of math/philosophy, but he also doesn't know much about the history of the U.S. Let's go high school graduates!
