Well, the end is approaching. It's a little hard to believe that there are only a few more weeks left, and that I've still got so much left to accomplish. Between work projects, tourism, and hanging out with people, I think that I've got most of my time scheduled between now and the end of my stay here.
Actually, come to think of it, I've got my time scheduled basically until school starts...Meh.
Anyway, I thought I should make a list of things that I've done, and things that I still want to do before I leave. That way, if it's in some organized state, I might actually accomplish all those things.

Doesn't ultimate frisbee on the White House backyard count?
Ooh, yes. The Art Museum is important. I actually liked the Modern Art Museum better than the normal one. And you can go to the Zoo at any time; it's a great place to visit at any hour, although early in the morning would also help you beat the heat. I think it's great that you got to live in D.C. It's such a cool place.
Mount Vernon is a pretty cool place, but I do very highly recommend playing Ultimate on the Mall! Very enjoyable experience. Have you been to Ford's theater yet? That is also a fun place to go, see how many Fairbanks statues you can find. There are a whole lot. :)
Pick me! Pick me! I want to be your DC buddy.
