<p>do i still read harry potter u mean?</p>
<p>I don't know about your school, but where I live... it's fairly common for teachers and students alike to read it.</p>
<p>uh oh...I feel that Potter pest coming back up again. <em>slithers into the shadows</em></p>
<p>Ooh Ooh! I like this potential discussion. Right now, my top choices for study abroad are:</p>
<p>University of Cape Town (Princeton)
Institute of Political and Social Sciences in Paris, France (Princeton)</p>
<p>and maybe...
Tanzania (Brown)
Cuba (University of Havana)</p>
<p>Hey, I read it! I actually did a 45 page thesis on the use of magic/origins of myth in Harry Potter. So don't tell me they're not cool, lol. Of course they're cool. =)</p>
<p>Edit: Sounds like fun, ilcapo! I'd be hoping for Cape Town or France ;)</p>
<p>a...45...page...thesis? <em>chokes</em></p>
<p>Haha, I know it's not a lot for a "thesis," but for a high school one, it's okay....</p>
<p>hahaha go kebree! =) i had a friend who wrote her IB extended essay on harry potter, and since it's modern culture, she tied it in with classic english literature. it was great.</p>
<p>not a lot? That's longer than anything I've ever even come close to writing. I can't wait to write my thesis in graduate school...</p>
<p><em>the crowd goes wild for kebree</em></p>
<p>Oh, I thought you meant it wasn't long enough to be called a thesis, haha....well, I feel better now. I thought that (once again) I was exposed for what I was amid a crowd of overachievers....</p>
<p>Psshaw! Not at all. I marvel at your accomplishment. Once again I am reminded that I am floating among a crowd of overachievers, heh.</p>
<p>and Phil...you won't have to wait 'til grad school...Princeton requires one of all AB students in senior year, remember. :)</p>
<p>whoa...<em>things get blurry</em> <em>head spins</em> <em>falls to ground</em></p>
<p>How on earth did that slip my mind? Especially when I rave about it to people whenever they want to know why I chose Princeton...weirdosity...</p>
<p>yeah...that thesis is going to be hella fun... (a bunch of people will roll their eyes)....but I actually like writing, so it was something I read about and thought, "YES! This is my school! All right!"
Plus that Harry Potter one was so much fun....</p>
<p>so how long are the senior theses supposed to be?</p>
<p>I've got to spend less time browsing these boards- its detrimental to calculus and physics homework. However, beleive it or not, this is my first post in the ED Lounge. lol.</p>
<p>Anyway, BSEs do a different take on the thesis, so hah! If I get in I will have to write less than u guys do. AB ones are usually about 150 pages or so. Wait- if I minor in poly sci do I have to write another thesis?</p>
<p>I think you have to write something, but certainly not a thesis. That'd be a little difficult.</p>
<p>Yeah, BSE's usually work with a professor on a research project created by the student and report their findings (which I guess is kind of like a thesis, anyways).</p>
<p>the senior theses are really long...i dont wanna write one haha im so lazy</p>
<p>Wow...check out our post count: 12,577</p>
<p>insane.</p>
<p>and our very own ED Lounge has more posts than Brown's whole forum, lol.</p>
<p><em>you</em> have more posts than brown. how's that for perspective.</p>
