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 hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend. I know I did. I'm still just getting used to being in the city. The weather here is cool but gorgeous: the forecast is sunny and in the low 70s all week long.
I want to tell funny stories about interviews but I'm worried that these firms are googling me and finding this website. Of course, if that has occurred then I'm probably done anyway, but I'll keep my mouth shut for now just in case.
The Sooners had what I feel was a mostly successful opener Saturday. Bowling Green may sound like a cupcake, but they did win eleven games last year. And we beat ourselves in the first half. My only worry is that the defense has started to believe its own hype and is sleepwalking through a lot of the game. Hopefully Bobby whips some sense into them. Otherwise we'll have to send Merrick down from the Sunshine State to show the D-line who's boss.
Although there was ABC coverage, we got the Michigan game on the network up here, so I had to find a bar with ESPN Gameday package. Luckily for me and my Penn State roomate, there happens to be just such an establishment about a hundred yards from our front door. The Burwood Tap, at Burling and Wrightwood (get it?), is a friendly place with cheap beer and, more importantly, a bartender who let me hold the remote during the game. This is a promising start, although I'll still attend Sooner Club of Chicago events for the big games.
