Dinero (which comes from denarius, BTW)
So something kind of cool happened yesterday. I got an email from the Columbia Office of Disability Services, they want to buy my notes for the semester.
Back in January, the professor forwarded to all of us an email from the PDS, saying anyone who wanted to supply notes to a disabled student in the class could submit them. If your notes were chosen, you got paid--$250 for new note-suppliers, $350 for returning. I typed up my notes and sent them in and a few days later got a polite "going with someone else" email.
Then yesterday, they emailed me personally, asking if I could send them my notes for the entire semester. I emailed them back and got a very warm thank you and asking if I'd ever done it before. I said no, this was my first semester at Columbia. Eeeh! Money! Someone's paying me for my notes! I wonder if this counts as some sort of professional accomplishment--"Clara Barton Green got her start when she sold her notes for her course on Roman History for $250."
