Hello. Welcome to my website. It started while I was in Europe for a semester, and I've kept it up since then. I'm now at the University of Chicago Law School, living in Hyde Park, and the story continues. If you want to say hi or visit me, email cfloyd at uchicago dot edu.

Matthew Smith, on the 1L year "The beer just doesn't taste as good when you're not drinking it with your buddies." -Anon., on being away from good friends "Somebody has to pay the rent around here. Why the hell not us?" -Cotton, on studying for exams

I am now in Castellon de la Plana. If you're looking on a map you can find this city on the east coast of Spain between Barcelona and Valencia. It is an hour's train ride north of Valencia. Dan Rowan, of Oklahoma City and Norman fame, is treating me like a king as I stay in an empty bed in his apartment. Carrie Leslie is also visiting Dan, and Hannah McClain (Wade the old roommate's sister) studies here. Altogether I have outstanding company. Yesterday we went for a traditional Spanish dinner of fresh fish, cured ham, bread and cheese with vegetables. It was nourishing, very tasty, and easy on the wallet. What more could one ask for in a meal? Then we went on to Dan's local pub. The owner/bartender is one of Dan's good friends so he was very friendly to us. We played darts and shot the breeze (shot a lot more breeze than bulls eyes). It was a chilled-out good time. Spanish life so far is very quiet, slow and relaxing. That may have to do with Holy Week, but Dan assures me that the pace of things here is never hurried. I like that.
I'll be here until Thursday, and then it's off in the direction of England. I will update more soon.
