Electrode$$$

Like a lot of graduate students, I participate in a lot of research studies. In Edmonton I used to get paid to eat stuff, and sometimes to watch commercials. Here I am part of a control group for research on schizophrenics. It pays really well ($100 to $150 a day) and the friend who does it is a total sweetheart. It's painfully boring, though. Click every time you hear a sound in your right ear. Etc.

Wow. To get that much money in our electrode $tudies, you'd have to look at words for 5-8 hours.

Don't you mean $tudie$?

$tudies. Here's the difference:

$100 a day, $tudie$.
1% of you final grade per half hour, $tudies.
