fine distinction

Today I learned that "realization" is not "recognition," at which point, I lost my last grasp on understanding what is "taxable event." Nothing makes sense in federal income tax. The words in my casebook can be a random assortment of "recognizable" words that form meaning I cannot "realize." I am seriously scared. I don't think this tax stuff will come together...

In other news, "reverter" is not a "possibility of reversion." Ah, law school.

No one reads this anyway. So tell my shame here...

... it's official: I've lost my copy of the federal rules of civil procedure. Aside from the fact that I need it super soon for Professor Redish's class, this is really shameful. How can a law student now know where her FRCP is?? Also, I am sad that the copy I learned all the rules from last semester is forever gone... can't even recall where I last saw my lovely book... oh wait. I think I totally know where it is... ah silly me!
