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.

I really like the coffee houses here. At first I didn't like them because they didn't have regular coffee. But after three months, I am almost fully used to espresso. Granted, I still miss a big steaming mug of joe, but there's an air of sophistication associated with sitting at a table with a white cloth sipping an Illy espresso and reading with jazz on in the background. They bring you this whole tray, with the little light cookie or fine chocolate or both, and the glass of water, and the spoon that doens't make sense because there's no cream. I guess you could sweeten the espresso with sugar, but why would you order an espresso if you wanted it sweet? I still drink my coffee too fast, and have to get a second if I'm at a place more than thirty minutes. Then the caffeine hits me. It's just not how I've always gotten my fix, so I haven't gotten my rhythm down. It's all good though. In summary: European espresso=classy. Maxwell House=classic. Over and out.
