HSLP 2011: Day 9-Sunday, July 17

High School Leaders Program
Day 9 - Sunday, July 17
Reported by: Lauren Marshall, Douglas Southall Freeman High School

Today Sorensen students made a monumental switch from up and coming political leaders to the average teenagers. We slept in for the first time all week. Then we bonded while watching the FIFA Women’s World Cup Finals.

After exploring the wonder that is the Charlottesville public transportation system, Sorensen students viewed the final movie of the popular Harry Potter series. Some students were satisfied by the new Harry Potter movie, while others were inexplicably disappointed.

Upon return to Bice House, the class feasted on Chipotle deliciousness and caught the tail end of Women’s World Cup, then ventured out to celebrate National Ice Cream Day at Baskin-Robbins on The Corner.

As I write this, policy groups are meeting to work on our proposals. As with any potentially productive period of time, our study groups have once again devolved into a quasi-karaoke dance party starring Malcolm Lee, Lauren Marshall and Emily Irwin. Win.
