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.

Things have been fun and intense lately.
Catching up, last weekend was the law school musical "Mary Lawpins." I played Judge Richard Posner. We sang, we danced, we drank, we made merciless but equal-opportunity fun of students, factulty, staff, and administration at the law school. For pictures, see my buddy Rich's (Scalia) site here.
Leading up to the musical was a week filled with rehearsals for 3-5 hours per night. So I didn't worry about posting. And the week before that was when I turned in my big quarterly research assignment, so I just stopped worrying about anything for a few days.
Sunday night I played Monopoly with four fellow students and our Property professor. We bought the opportunity to play with him in a law school charity auction. He supplied the pizza, dessert and beer, and we played the game for nearly five hours. It was a blast. I recommend dusting off Monopoly some Saturday night and playing.
This week has been all studying. If you didn't know, we law students have our entire grade based on a single exam for each class at the end of the term. Mine for this quarter are two weeks away, so I've got to get it together.
In other news, unless something drastic changes, I'll be somewhere in Oklahoma this summer. More on that later...
Finally-- I just want to share how good the faculty here is. Everybody's a start. The range of thinkers, unlike many other places, is actually diverse, not fake-diverse with token left- or right-wingers. For more, see here. Just read random articles. The professors I've had or will have this year include Sunstein, Eric Posner, and Epstein as well as many others. And I've had the chance to listen to so many others speak. It's actually pretty cool. If you're a geek like I am.
