Well then, a few weeks ago I took an Art History midterm and failed horribly. The past few days were an emotional slump from there since, well, I haven't failed a test since I got out of High School and I'm worried about my scholarship dropping over this slip.

I'm trying to keep my composure but I've really disappointed myself; I slacked off during class but just IMing my friends across the lecture hall, boy, laptops really hurt sometimes. Anyways slapping the sense back into me, the midterm was a mere 15% of my grade which I can still pick up. I have a term paper due in 10-odd days and I'd love any help at all. I'm working on an artist, Georgia O'Keeffe, and I'd love any details of the significance of her work, like how it stood out. It's obvious why but I'd like some database or credible sources. Talking to my friend, Google, gives me only weak sources and my school database only gives only a small handful, not to mention every book in my university library on O'Keeffe has been checked out. So any halp would be nice.

Barnes & Nobles, brother.

Take your laptop there and pull out those books that were checked out, and read 'em.

Spend most of your afternoon there and write, write, write!

Don't give up. 15% is nothing. You can still bring that grade back up.

I'll see what I can find on Georgia O'Keeffe.

Edit: Here's a page to a museum named after her. It should contain some information. http://www.okeeffemuseum.org/

Also, go to her Wikipedia page and scroll down to the external links section. The links cited there should have more to say about her, maybe even a detailed biography. Just lurk around. Even if you're not using Wikipedia as your primary source, it is useful for finding other links on what you're looking for.

Hope it goes well.
