<p>has anyone gotten the packet yet with the book, printed info of our housing assignments, supposedly our DukeCard as well? I'm gonna be gone during all of August so it'd be great if it got here now...just wondering if people closer to Duke than I am had received anything yet.</p>
<p>yeah I was wondering where in the world it is cuz Pwild is in like 15 days and I need to read that book b4 I leave. Ive refrained for all this time from just going out and buying a copy so I dont wanna do it now since it might get here like any day.</p>
<p>I just took the book out of my library yesterday...then again, I have a very demanding job which leaves me very little time to read and I'm a slow reader anyway, so I really need to start on it now. Why don't you just take it out of the library and start on it, and then just bring the copy they eventually send you to school with you? </p>
<p>It really sucks that it hasn't gotten here yet...since when does "we'll send you the book in mid-july" mean "you still won't have it by july 26th"?!</p>
<p>I have info!</p>
<p>I'm a FAC and we haven't gotten any of our stuff (FAClets' addresses + summer reading book) b/c there's been a few pretty substantial delays. One being it took awhile to finish off your housing assignments. The other significant setback was that there was a problem of sorts with the shipment of all the summer reading books and they just received them last week which was pretty behind schedule and they needed to bundle everything and ship things. I'd really expect for everyone in the States to be receiving anything any day now. I just checked my mail and I didn't receive anything today. </p>
<p>If you're leaving on a trip soon, I'd DEFINITELY call Duke and see what's going on. They'll give you a more definitive answer, and if anything, see if they'll reimburse you for purchasing your own copy (they do that if your book never arrives).</p>
<p>thanks for the info, bluestar.</p>
<p>does the mid-July packet have our dukecard for sure? im just curious cuz i need the unique id to check out jobs on the monstertrak.</p>
<p>thanks Im gonna go check it out</p>
<p>i cant log onto monstertrak yet..i have the id though cuz its on ACES...but our accounts arent set up yet or something....anyone had any luck?</p>
<p>did anyone else get that email saying we need to complete some sort of alcohol tutorial... ***!, it says that it takes 2 hours to do, the last thing I need to thinkl about on my vacation while sipping dacquiris poolside is to worry about that stupid tutorial(I know the syntax could use some work, but Im inebriated, oh the irony!)</p>
<p>No luck...and no packet. :(</p>
<p>just got my packet today in South FL - even tho I went to check it out in the library yesterday lol. Its the book + your move-in parking pass.</p>
