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   3/06/2004   Sometimes on the weekends I go on 14-hour study benders. Is it cramming if the exam is still a week or two weeks away? If I'd done this in college, I'd be a damn Rhodes Scholar. And damn boring. Usually I put on classical music, because music with words distracts me more for some reason. But then I end up making up words to the classical music. For instance, Beethoven's Fifth: "I-hate-crim-laaaaaw..... I-hate-crim-laaaaaaw.... I-hate-at-tempts-I-hate-mur-der-I-hate-crim-laaaaaaw." Or, to some Bach overture, "theacquisitionoftitllllllllle... torealandpersonalpropertyyyyyyy... by adverse possessionnnnnnnn... isbasedontheexpirationofastatuteoflimitations ...statute of limitations... statute of limitations!!!." Then I leave my apartment before I have to punch myself in the face. 3/06/2004 02:26:00 PM
