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.

Chicago was enjoyable. I got in around 8pm on Tuesday. Coming around the bend on I-290 to see the skyline from about 10 miles off was really awesome. I love the aggressive, muscular architecture of the town. It really made my adrenaline pump. I think that's because last year when I saw the skyline I was usually on my way up north from Hyde Park, on my way to fun and excitement. Seeing the Sears Tower sticking up like a big middle finger made my heart skip a beat.
The weather was really chilly for August, like in the 50s. It felt like fall, and I got that familiar October angst two months early. The smell of the cool air had something to it, maybe the vague fried-food-on-the-lakeshore smell of Chicago You know the autumn feeling, where you can't shake the nagging feeling that you're behind on an assignment, or you have something due or some reading to finish? The feeling that summer is really gone? That's the feeling I got in Chicago. Thank God it's only August and I'm not really in the thick of school. I'm not quite ready.
Speaking of the OK, I've got about two weeks left here. Shout me a holler before August 29th if you want to hang out. I'll be around.
