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.
"Life is nothing if not the sum of your anecdotes." -Scotty The Body, on storytelling "But it ain't that bad, man. Just figure out the system before the system figures out you." -T. 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

Short little anecdote:
Standing in line at the bursar's office to pick up my loan check, the guy in the pink Polo button down and Tucker Carlson hair behind me says, "I guess this must be like being on welfare...standing in line to get a check." I smile and say nothing. A little later, "Man, working in a place like this must be awful." I say, "Yeah, that's office life, I guess." He goes, "I just wouldn't want to be around all these types all day, you know?" I shrug. Long pause. "I hope you don't get the idea that my comments are class-based...I'm just starting out at the business school and it's good to know I won't have to stand in line to get a check all my life." I say, "Naturally." I think, Go work for Worldcom and go bankrupt, you MBA prick. This guy needs to read The Bonfire of the Vanities before he hits the real world.
I shouldn't rush to judgment. But a long way from Oklahoma, people don't keep as much to themselves.
End anecdote.
