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.

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

Springbreak timeline since the last update:
Thursday: drive home. Temperature goes up about four degrees Fahrenheit every hour south I drive. Arrive around 8pm and watch School of Rock with Mom and Steph. It's a funny movie.
Friday: hang out in Tulsa. Take a run, work in the garden, eat grilled steaks with the family, then go downtown to the new "Irish" pub at First and Elgin, James E. McNellie's Public House. It ain't authentic, but it's got 60 or so beers on tap. I appreciate it.
Saturday: head to Norman. Meet up with Jonesy at On The Border, then go to the OU-TX baseball game that afternoon with about twenty more of my old fraternity brothers as well as girlfriends (shoutout to Bonner). We set up folding chairs, a couch and a grill on the rise over the outfield and yell dirty things at the Texas players. The Sooners come back in the 8th inning and win. Watch some NCAA that night then went to Bison Witches. Stupid stuff follows.
Sunday: Go to another baseball game with Spot and Bassity. Then the Library happy hour for delicious ale and pizza, as well as plenty of old friends including Ted Matt Smith (see above quotation) and Wade McClain. Then dinner at the Body's for his patented beer-boiled brats. Finally, a visit to the newlywed Mournings in Moore.
Monday: Arrive on campus to turn in some long-overdue books and try to figure out when my second degree is forthcoming. I then catch Danielle for coffee and hear about Paris and London. Next I attend a DU chapter meeting with my ultra-high seniority. A little old-school Bill's follows, and we watch OU collapse against Michigan in the NIT. Well, next year will be better. Flop.
Tuesday: I break my fast at the Diner. Then I get a haircut. Or, at least, a trim around the edges in anticipation of my Wednesday interview. Head back to campus to confer about my degree. I need three more hours of credit. I curse the international credit transfer system. I kill an hour then pick up Stephanie and we visit Bessy at Wienerworks. I catch dinner with the Body at Daddy Wu's, then we hang out at his place, curse the DVD player into submission. It capitulates and shows us the Cross Canadian Live disc.
Today: Break my fast at McD's with a McGriddle. Strange but tasty. Then an interview for a summer job at Crowe and Dunlevy. I leave crossing my fingers. Meet Donohew for lunch at the Lunch Box, then back up the Turnpike to Tulsa. Albert G's for dinner. I get fatter.
That's it. I'm hanging out in Tulsa until I drive back to Chicago on Saturday. I'm thinking maybe play some golf, drink some coffee, read some magazines, watch some TV, be extremely awesome. And I'll post summer plans as they develop...
