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.
Hey!
ReplyDeleteThe library is so big and it's kinda creepy how quiet it is on the east side but, there are maps and green sheets scattered throughout the building that tell you how to follow the call numbers so, it's pretty easy. Also, if you look in the encyclopedias that are at the library sometimes they can give you ideas of what to search for within your topic; they give you lots of general background information. The people are really nice at the library. Usually at the front desk they'll always answer questions. Have fun going to the library!!!! oh and I'm horrible at updating my blog also!
Hey Laura -
ReplyDeleteJust one or two days of productivity can really help out a lot! If you would like, I'd be happy to go to the library with you sometime and walk you through how to find information.
I know how it feels to seem like you're being unproductive. I have been falling behind on my own dissertation writing just because I've been so busy preparing for this class and another class I'm voluntarily taking. I'm planning on working all day and part of the evenings each day this week so hopefully I can get caught up.
Good luck with your own work!
I would definitely recommend talking to Micalee or searching throughout the library website because I have done both and was able to get a jump start on my project!
