Exams and taxes

Posted by newlawmom on April 30, 2009

I’m only 15 days late. I thought I might owe. I was right. That’s not really why I waited, but it sure didn’t provide any increased motivation to file early. So Civil Procedure took a back seat to taxes tonight. Something about the first of May got me scared. Now for the question of the hour: How the heck does my taxable income increase during my first year of full time school????? And the answer is: with a 20 hour per week cap on hours, I worked really hard between January and August to try to cushion myself. Result? Not worth it. Just in case anyone is thinking of trying it now to cushion for next year, I don’t recommend it. So….moving on.

Civil Procedure final tomorrow morning. I am ready. My outline is in fine shape and I spent several hours studying and reviewing. I will be bringing the text, the rules, and the outline with me. The text is a sign that I am not really comfortable. If I need it, it is there. Let’s pray I don’t. I hope my readers have a lovely day. I’ll be back tomorrow.
