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.

Not much news here. To recap the last few days:
On Christmas Eve we went to my parents' new church, St. Peters. There was a very cute Christmas play put on by the children. But I started feeling crappy that evening, and by 4am I knew I was sick. I had fevers and chills and all kinds of sneezing and nastiness. I woke up at 8 to open presents and was back asleep by 11. Basically I slept away most of Christmas day. Hooray for the holidays. But I got some nice gifts: an OU sweatshirt, a crockpot, a cookbook, and a new wallet, among other things.
By late in the next day I was feeling much better. Apparently it was just a severe cold, not the flu. I felt good enough to go bowling with extended family and then go to the bar and see all kinds of high school friends I hadn't seen in ages. It's always good to hear what's going on with people and their lives. It's kind of sad to realize you don't necessarily give much of a shit. Prelude to the ten-year reunion I guess.
Then last night a fraternity buddy got married to his high school sweetheart. It was a nice wedding. Half of the fraternity guys there showed up to the church kind of drunk (not me, I'm still recovering from being sick). But they behaved, and were calmed by the fact that everybody else was sober. Of course, the reception took care of that later. Good stuff...way too many "Old School" references to count. The reception was really a great time. Not exactly the crazy party that many expected, but just a time to celebrate for Adam and Nicole and eat free food and drink free beer. And check out the bridesmaids. Gotta love the bridesmaids.
Today I'm headed back to Norman to pick up my books and bookshelf and spend the night, then it's back to Dallas for three more job interviews. I'll be back in Tulsa on the 30th.
