Weekly Time log
I spent a lot of time working over the last week.  I worked on my project question, thesis, and purpose.  Did a semester outline.  I also did a lot of literature searches. My goal for the rest of this week is to spend time on language and looking for potential mentors.

Total time: roughly 13 hours (I was in the library and reading a lot)

1/18/11
Over the weekend I spent time catching up on Tamil.  Today I also completed my first annotated source.  Over Christmas Break I read multiple books that I will be annotating over the next couple of weeks.  (I am not trying to back track time, just remind myself where I am with sources).  I still need to spend time on my project question and lots of time in the library. 

Total time: 2 hours (This is including my journal, but not the reading time)

Here is a timeline that I worked on over the weekend.  The purpose is to help keep me on track.
