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.

Who is Charlie Floyd? I graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2002 with a degree in Letters. Then I decided to get a second BA in German and spent the spring finishing my degree requirements at the Karl-Franzens Universitaet in Graz, Austria. Now I'm at the University of Chicago Law School and loving every minute.
This is my story, day by day.

I have decided to make a resolution, based on what I experienced in my travels over the last few weeks: I will begin to call Graz home. I am no longer visting here; I am living here. This will include such aspects as putting up posters on my walls, frequenting certain establishments, and exploring parts of the city I have little business exploring. My friends I visited in other countries had all been there since September or so. I don't know when they stopped visiting their respective towns and started living in them, but all of them had done so. It is time for me to do the same. I'll let you know how that goes.

One sign it's already begun: a new supermarket opened up nearby over Easter. I was thrilled by the fact that it has extended hours, even on Sundays.

Visitors aren't thrilled by extended supermarket hours.
