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.

It's the end of my day. Things are slightly stressful around the law school. Everybody's preparing for exams, and tension fills the halls and library. But it's a productive tension...not necessarily oppressive. I imagine it gets worse as exams draw near. I'm tired of worrying. I can't be bothered to be scared. So I'm just trying to get my shit together in as competent a fashion as I can.
Question is, what is competent? In college I used my natural ability to disguise my natural laziness. Sometimes things come easier to me than to the average Joe, so I used to fall back on that instead of actually putting effort into things. I got away with procrastination and loads of BSing. Now, though, I am surrounded by people who all get things quickly. So now, in order to continue to do above average work, I have to combine the thinking God made easy for me with a drive He didn't, and see what happens. Damn...no more slacking for this here nerd.
