Updates and Drop/Add

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted entries about dorms or moving in. I was on vacation (with no internet, which was frankly wonderful) and then I was just too darn lazy for the last few days.

Hooray Hokie Camp! Session 1 starts today, and I leave tomorrow for Session 2 counselor training.

Anyway, in case you were wondering, here are the posts from last year about dorm life, roommates, and such:

Dorm Life 101 -- Roommates and Friends
The All-Important "What to Pack" List
Staying Safe at VT
And the one that you'll probably never admit to worrying about: Homesickness

Another note: Drop/Add for Fall 2009 has opened, and will remain open until the second week of classes. So now's the time to pick up that section of ECON 2005 you were thinking about adding or to *consider* changing your English class. Remember what I said though -- once you drop a class, you might not get it back. A good rule of thumb is to try and switch to a class with several seats still left in it. We're talking at least 4 or 5.

Also, be careful when you're signing up for classes. Make sure you enter the precise CRN. I made this mistake myself today (yes, and I'm a senior).

I wanted to change my section of FST 2014 from online to in-class. The CRN for the section of FST 2014 I wanted was 93096, but I typed in 90396. That enrolled me in AOE 7994, the research and dissertation course for Aerospace and Ocean Engineering PhD students...oops. I'm good, but I'm not that good.

Fortunately you can catch a slip-up like this immediately and correct it. Just remember to keep the timetable open.
