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.

Yesterday I went to a football match here in Graz between the two pro teams in the city. The match determined which club would get to play in the Champion's League. The exciting game was held at Arnold Schwarzenegger Stadium in front of 12,000 fans of both teams. It was kind of like a Bedlam match. Passions were up, but not quite like big rivalries in college football. This was like a really big game of minor league baseball, but very exciting. I had a couple pictures taken by Jonathon, the Austrian who took me to the game, and I should post those soon.

In other news, check out this link to a video of a tornado taken by Reed Timmer, meteorology student at OU. Reed came to OU from Michigan, and I used to drive him around to look at storms when he first arrived, We saw some funnels from a distance, but nothing like the video I'm linking to. Check it out--it's insanely cool.
