Weather in D.C.

I don't want to sound like a Complainin' Cain, but this city is probably the coldest I've ever lived in. For one who spent the start of their life in Oklahoma and recent history in Georgia, walking to the subway in weather that is "12 degrees Fahrenheit, feels like 0" is a far frostbitten cry from anything that I've ever known. I don't know if that meant anything.
I actually took some pictures a while ago of my environs here, I'll post them whenever I remember to (Duh).
Figuring out what to do this summer. I'd like to do an REU, but Ted Shifrin has informed me that they're probably too competitive for me since I haven't taken very many upper level math or physics courses. Maybe next year. I would also like to find some way to maybe go abroad, since I've never been out of the country before. It would be good to actually go to Germany and practice my Deutsch in real situations. But being as how I'm participating in a really expensive program in D.C. right now that doesn't pay anything, my parents probably won't really cotton to the idea of me doing something else that costs them thousands of dollars with zero monetary payback. Therefore, it looks like it's back to my old Plan A of conference hosting at UGA. I'll probably do physics research. It will still be a good summer. I like summer in Georgia: I can do stiflingly hot weather, but not so much bitterly cold. I'll probably also get a banjo finally. Back to the good old days of no homework, playing piano four hours a day, walking everywhere, swimming, reading, playing records, maybe getting a tan, having short hair, being on meal plan, hanging out with captain E & the gang, writing a lot, volleyball, walking around downtown, athens zen group, running, and anything else I might do in the summer. I really do love that place. And this year I'll (hopefully) be getting payed more while doing less.
