I'm not sure if I should be jealous that you go to Harvard or if I should be jealous that Steve Pinker, one of my top psychology celebrities is your professor.

I'm happy you didn't use the gender card. People don't hate her because she's a woman, it is because she epitomizes the click-baiting that Kotaku is infamous for with her insidious, sensationalist headlines and stories.

I studied abroad for a semester and its the same thing with any language. My language skills weren't also as good as the natives so it was hard to be outgoing.
I relied on playing sports and getting drunk at bars. Sports force you to communicate, and apparently alcohol makes you better at speaking a foreign language due to reduced inhibitions. Hopefully the same should work for you.
Also, DC is a great city and you're in a great location.
