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.

The dress norm here at law school has relaxed quite a bit since the first part of the year. Where most were dressing to impress during the opening weeks, now we dress for comfort, including ballcaps. None of the professors have ever mentioned it. Until today.
I raised my hand to comment and my Torts professor, visiting from Boston University, couldn't tell who I was with my hat on. I took it off and proceeded with the question. No problem. There were at least ten guys with caps in the room. After class I was in an elevator with him and apologized for the hat. He said he didn't find it offensive, but he knew of a professor at BU who told his students, "The only people who wear backwards ballcaps are washed-up baseball players and washed-up law students."
I said, "Well that's great, because I'm both!" Then I got off the elevator.
