Well well I was awake and heard Yorick taking a shower.
After a while I heard a loud noise and a scream. He dropped the 1 liter soap on his toe! 
And after 10 minutes he exited the bathroom, and went to his room. Locked door… He locked the door from the inside!
Poor guy!
PS: I got him a secondary key from the kiosk over here 
A while ago I wrote this (Dutch) article on how to perform LINQ to SQL for your SQL Compact databases, since Visual Studio did not understand this, we had to do it manually, as described in the article just mentioned.
But since the release of .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, and the therein included ADO.NET Entity Framework, it is now possible to generate a model out of a SQL Compact database!
Unfortunately this is not (yet) possible for Smart Device applications (Windows Mobile), but who knows what the future might bring!
Well today was a very busy day. Heidi made us attend an orientation about the rules on our F-1 status (Visa), we can’t work, where to go in case of emergency and stuff like that, basics actually.
When that was done we visited the library where the librarian showed us around, on how to use the category system, microfilms, microfiches.
And here is the best part: After the library tour there was PIZZA in the International house! GOOD pizza! Had a great lunch with Yorick, Paulette, Beza, and Sandra (from Austria).
Because of the bad weather (really cold!) the campus tour was replaced by a small tour (I don’t remember anything about it actually), and when we got back we were obliged to take a Tuberculosis skin test. So if my arm shows red in the next 2 days: TROUBLE! But I am healthy 
I know.
In 30 minutes Paulette and Beza (maybe Sandra) will come and eat the rest of the pizza I ‘borrowed permanently’
See y’all later!
Since we are foreign students over here we have to prove our English level!
So on Tuesday we had to be present at the class at 08.30 a.m. for the test.
It was a very long, easy listening, and reading test, with some texts and some grammar. I passed all 3 tests, so I don’t have to attend any English classes over here.
In the evening there was some dinner with the foreign students in the International House on the campus, really great! Had a very good time!
Thanks to Vicky from over here (she’s the secretary from the International House) for preparing the plates and being that kind to us!
An hour after dinner Joe took Yorick, Beza (Ethiopia), Paullette (Mexico) and me (Mars) to a bar to watch the K-State game! Very nice, and the chicken wings were good too!
This was our Tuesday, I’ll keep you up to date!
Well hi y’all!!!
It’s been too long since I updated, and I apologize for that!
I’ve been very busy (papers, moving into the dorms, settling, …).
This is a summary about the last 3 days:
On Sunday (January 11th) we went out to the campus to eat dinner with the people from the local Chinese Bible church.
They made authentic Chinese food! It was really good, made some new friends. After that we went back to Joe’s to sleep our last night!
Monday morning Sam brought us to the school at 8 a.m., to move into the dorms. We went to the LLC, and had to wait about an hour before getting our key. We went for a cup of coffee, filled out some papers, and moved in.
The dorms were arranged to sleep with 2 people in 1 room, and 2 rooms connected to 1 bathroom (toilet + shower) and 2 sinks (without privacy). Horrible. So we went complaining that we filled out forms for a single room. But there were some problems with that. No problem, they arranged us a room in the Washburn village, so that we both have our private room, shared bathroom, shared living room (with small kitchen and fridge!!!).
In the evening Yorick and I went out to the Walmart to buy some stuff for our dorms (pillows, blankets, … the basic stuff). Thanks to Sam (Joe’s brother) for the transportation!!!
When we got back, we chatted and emailed a bit and got to bed.
