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.

Good afternoon. It is a lazy Sunday. I need to do school work, right after I clean my room. Not much exciting going on. Maybe I'll go to a cafe later on to do some reading. Happy Father's Day to all Dad's out there, particularly mine.
Most of the links on the left are now live. Peruse at your leisure.
The party was really cool Friday night. Tons of people--too many, in fact. I just hung out with people I knew and we explored quite a bit. If you want to look at pictures, go here. Don't be daunted by the foreign language. Just click on "ansehen" to look at the pics. I'm not in any of them, but it will still give you a good idea of what was going on Friday.
I realized I never said anything about my trip to Budapest, so here's just a bit:
I was only there for about 24 hours because of budget and train schedules, but at least I saw the place. Others might differ, but in my book it's still worth going. Budapest is near Austria on the Danube. It is connected to Vienna on the river. If I ever come back with more cash I would like to take the hydrofoil between the cities. So, Kent the Friend and I walked around quite a bit and saw a good piece of the city. We went to the top of St. Stephen's Basilica for a wonderful view. The city is really beautiful, but there are undertones from the past of communist oppression. Lots of grafiti, and some ugly block buildings. But there was also a lot of building going on. I'm sure Hungary is a land on the rise--part of "New Europe," as Rumsfeld put it. And don't let anybody tell you Hungary is dirt-cheap, either, at least not in the center of Budapest. Prices were about like Graz, but that's probably because we didn't stray too far from touristy areas.
That's all I'm going to type now. Budapest pics will be up soon. Enjoy your day.
