Thanksgiving Just a Little Early

The last day of July I got an email in UW mailbox saying that all UW employee's who have used a certain amount of tuition exemption in the last year will be taxed for the worth of the tuition as if it were income. For graduate student who took classes every quarter including summer, that amounts to quite a bit. What's even worse was that we would be taxed for a years worth of tuition all in the month of August. Of course I had just quit my ambulance job and my renter had just gotten married and moved out. My paycheck for August turned out less than half of what it usually is!
A few weeks later one of the clinical instructors at Northwest tripped and broke her ankle while a t clinicals. While that is terribly unfortunate and I would never wish that to happen, it did give me a contract for this semester at NU. It's by no means a whole lot of money, but just enough to pay to bills. It's amazing how God provides!
