Welcome!

Hi! I'm Howard. Thanks for stopping by my new blog, "Howard Goes Places And Does Things."

To start, here's a little bit about me: I recently graduated with a J.D. from the University of Miami School of Law. I also hold a B.A. in political science from San Diego State University, and I occasionally (read: very infrequently) write about political stuff here. During the summer between my first and second years of law school, I studied abroad in Europe, and was able to travel extensively during that time. I've always been interested in traveling but that summer was a life changing experience; I knew I had discovered my passion.

And that''s what led me to create this blog. I've been meaning to do it for a while, but law school and bar prep have delayed the project- until now. I just completed day 1 of the Florida Bar Exam (day 2 is tomorrow), and I finally find myself with a few free moments to get HGPADT started. As you can probably imagine, the bar exam is stressful. I won't even attempt to quantify how stressful it is because it's just not possible.

The one thing that has kept me going throughout this whole experience is the knowledge that, on the other side of the bar exam, a 16-day trip to Southeast Asia awaits me. Naturally, I want to share that experience (and others like it) with you- my family, friends, and anyone else who somehow stumbles across this blog. So thanks for reading, and stay tuned for my upcoming posts which will describe my Asia trip in much more detail.
