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.

Today was my last day of classes for the quarter. The professors tend to give farewell speeches, where they actually express their affection for us students. My property professor was pretty emotional as he told us how much it meant to see us learn and grow in the law. His voice cracked and he nearly broke into tears telling us how much it means to him. Considering all the dry humor, skepticism and cynicism that comes with the study of law, it was a touching moment. I guess making it through a hard academic term is just like going through any trying period. When you come out on the other end, you look with vague nostalgia on the difficulties.
And then you sit back and say, damn!, glad I don't have to do that again.
