Horario- a rough sketch of schedule

¿Listos?

Who's ready for an adventure?  I'm about to embark on a journey through the "desconocido" --that is, the wild expanse of the unknown?  What shall I do on this adventure? What shall I accomplish on my quest?  Let's make a map, find the X that marks the spot, and discover the lost treasure shall we?

Okay, 3 months in Mexico, let's break it down.
Month 1- build rapport, get to know the people and the area, determine potential interviewees
Month 2- try to do the majority of the interviews, transcribe and translate, begin work on planning the paper
Month 3- continue work on translation, finish up the interviews, compile and write the history

May 1st - July 30th: 12 weeks total

Week
1- get to know my host family, the people, and the area, building rapport the whole time.
2- cultural proofs and language practice, networking and rapport building.
3- language practice, networking and rapport building, slowly begin interviews.
4- language practice, networking, rapport, interviews, and transcribing.
5- language practice, networking, rapport, interviews, and transcribing.
6- language practice, group retreat (tentative), transcribing, and planning for final product.

11- language practice, rapport, transcribing, writing, translation, and thank you's.
12- language practice, rapport, writing, translation, goodbyes and thank you's.

Of course, all this is tentative, but it's good to have a general idea of where I'll be going, I mean, I want to spend as little time lost in "el desconocido" as possible. Por esa razón, I will continue to try to plan my horario effectively, and map out "the uknown."
