April 15

You know, I almost became one of those people who waits for the very last minute to file their tax forms. Granted, it did take months for me to get the appropriate paperwork together, but completed forms arrived from the accountant at least a week ago. If that hadn't happened during the chaos and bacchanalia of spring break, I would have given them more than a cursory glance, instead of setting them on the pile of paperwork to be attended to at some unspecified date, and I wouldn't have completely overlooked the forms I was required to sign before everything could be filed electronically.

I dropped them off yesterday afternoon. I suppose I could have put it off for one more day, to be able to say proudly that I waited for the very last minute — but I'm anxious to get my refund.
