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 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.   Archives << current

Charles in Charge: Chicago "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   11/24/2003   Winter showed up today. Lows in the teens, highs below 30. The wind was strong too. It was really really cold. So I got up early in order to find a parking spot and drove to school. I greeted somebody in the hall with a "How's it going?" and his reply was, "OK, I guess, except that winter started today and I'll be depressed for the next three months." Oh, lovely. I think I need a new hat. My flimsy Old Navy fleece beanie just ain't gonna cut it. Maybe I'll set up a PayPal account when I do my site redesign so you all can donate to my Chicago Winter Wardrobe Fund. Hmmmm... 11/24/2003 03:10:00 PM
