lacking sources
So as I'm going through my sources I'm realizing that I'm lacking primary sources. Maybe I'm struggling finding good sources for domesticity in the south because there just aren't any? But that doesn't seem likely, all those women had time to do was write letters and in journals. Well, maybe that's not true, but they defiantly did have time to write. I'll keep looking but I'm worried I won't find them by Thursday for the bibliography with the proposal. Any ideas?

...
Everyday I realize just a little bit more that I am really slacking for this class. Especially with these blogs. I think I don't write much because I don't like admitting that I'm really far behind on this research. Also, because I'm changing my major from History to Dietetics, I realized I don't need this class anymore but I realized it too late to just drop the class, and without it I wouldn't be a full time student anymore. So, in the class I will remain and trying to do my best is my goal because my GPA could really use a boost.
So far I have a topic. I also have some background information stored in my brain about southern women during the Civil War from HST 304 that I took last year. And there's the books that I found on the library's online catalog that I want to check out but I'm afraid to admit that I don't actually know how to find them at the library because I've never gone to the library before. I've got some online sources too and a decent idea of what I want to define a community as for my proposal.
I guess the moral of this blog is that I'm feeling guilty for slacking and I'm just not prepared for this class yet. Hopefully I get my act together by Thursday.
