Finals et al

I've been dedicating my life to finals the past several days. Very little sleep, very much caffeine, and unhealthy food is the recipe for finals week. I've noticed a phenomenon that people often form new and unsuspecting social connections during finals week due to extremely irregular schedules. Finals week is actually my favorite time of the semester because it ends up being the most interesting. Some people you never even knew existed sometimes become your best friends.

In other news, I'm at 42% of my required funding for Thailand; I got a lot of money this past week. Currently my plan is to audit the Linux class with Dr. Hu for Mayterm and leave for Thailand after that. This way, I'll be able to be with Kerianne for my last month in America and be able to make a lot of money via working at Tech Services.

Introductions

Good morning!

I've created this blog as a sort of web log (or blog as they say) of my trip to Thailand with SIL. If anyone is unclear on what I plan on doing over there, the plan is to write software that aids in linguistics. After all, linguistics has a lot of monotonous work which can be trimmed down with the help of computers.

Currently I'm finishing my work at Houghton then graduating next month. My plan is to leave for Thailand on June 1, though it isn't looking hopeful as I still need about $3,000. Much thanks to everyone who has given thus far, and thanks even more for the prayers. If you know of anyone who would like to help out, checks can be made out to me and sent to either:

Tim Kellogg
CPO 1113
Houghton College
Houghton, NY 14744

OR

Tim Kellogg
136 Turner Street
Greene, NY 13778

Whichever is more convenient as I won't be in Houghton after graduation. It would be nice to have all the money by May 1, but anything that comes is welcome. I'll try to post my progress, in the meantime you should leave a comment!
