So after panicking in class last Tuesday that I did not have enough work done or things read, and I am not truly sure where my thesis is heading anymore, six of my inter library loan books came in by the end of the week! Now the books are pretty big and all written in Spanish, so it is going to take me some time to actually get any useful information from them, but at least I have somewhere to go with my research now. The only problem is the biggest book that came in, from the Yale library, is due back by the end of the month, which is definitely not enough time for me to read it all (thanks Yale). The book literally covers art made throughout all wars in Spain, so yeah I am going to have to start sifting through that now to be able to get it back in time.
Other than the update on new reading materials, I did get a response back from the Reina Sofia last week in regards to requesting documents/information on their collection. All they sent me was a research request form to fill out (which I am not sure why that wasn't on their website in the first place), and since sending that back last week I have not heard anything. It isn't the best feeling in the world that they haven't responded in over a week, but I am still holding out a little hope. If this doesn't pan out, I am thinking of a plan B research question that still uses everything I have done so far this semester.
