1. Songs and pre-conquest prayers

Translate ycnocuicatl (DONE and a conference paper is written on it) except it should be cleaned up still
Review the SOng of Nezahualcoyotl - check with peter about his use of this song.
look at the chichimec piece - I believe this is the one cami translated, but double check that and use her translation obviously...
Read and Review Book 6 FC
Write a chapter....

2. Annals

translate, read, and review 
Historia Tolteca Chichimeca 1540s-50s

Write a chapter...

3. Book of the dead

Translate the book starts in 1619... (Started.)
research the idea of keeping this record and try to find more while in Mexico
write a chapter...

4/5. Testaments and plays (This may be one or two depending on how the will hunt goes.

Go to Mexico to get more testaments BONUS points if you find some from Huexotzinco in the time of the book of the dead 1619 to about 1640
translate the testaments Travis shared from the BNAH
Read and review Testaments of Culhuacan and Toluca
Write a chapter...

Souls and Testamentary Executors
The Sacrifice of Isaac
THe Animal Prophet and the Unfortunate Patricide (Already have a conference paper on this one)
"Colloquy of How the Fortunate Saint Helen Found the Precious and Revered Wooden Cross, the Holy Cross."
Write a chapter...

Decide what I am arguing and write an Introduction and Conclusion.

Graduate by May 2019! (Maybe...)

Don't forget funding too!
Look into Franciscan Grant (Jessica says early February, which means start it now!)
The TA/GA Fund (This is due mid January, do not forget about it!)
Maybe a Mellon to finish, but that would be next year.
Look into others!

Teaching:
In the beginning of the summer, take time to plan course for July/August.

Last two weeks of August - Plan Expos again.
