There is not much you can do until the orientation meetings.  
Here are some important points.

1.  Attend an orientation meeting.  You can go Wed, Jan 8th or
	Thursday Jan 9th.  Both are at South, in C-202 at 7:00 pm.
	Passwords and instructions will be given out at the meeting.
	No passwords will be given out earlier than that.

2.  Buy a book!  You can buy the 9th or 10th edition.
	*  If you get the 10th edition, it should come with a CD.
	   The study guide is on the CD.
	*  If you get the 9th edition, it should come with a CD and a study guide.

3.  If you must get started early, read Ch 1 to 1.3 and begin chapter 2. 

Good luck and see you Wed or Thurs.
