<p>I was told that the order of sending is alphabetical, and then regional. Tell me if this is wrong.</p>
<p>Tokyo, my last name is probably only 20 people or fewer ahead of yours.</p>
<p>What letter does your last name start with?</p>
<p>W</p>
<p>Which is why I sort of doubt that the batches are alphabetical.</p>
<p>W????</p>
<p>I see your point. My last name starts with E, but I'm a RDer. Meh. I shall wait contently for my nice package. :)</p>
<p>Got mine today in New Jersey. Strangely enough the letter is dated April 28th...What a lot of forms! Better start now! :D</p>
<p>Yup, we can't get our housing assignments until everyone turns in the form!</p>
<p>Bleh. I'm moving in early June so I put my new address on the postcard thingy... which means I won't be seeing my package until I get there at the earliest (and who knows what on earth might happen w/ non-express international post!) How very smart of me.</p>
<p>geez.. I haven't gotten my stuff yet, and I sent my card in a bit ago..</p>

I hope this isn't true - my last name starts with Z.</p>
<p>I'm a W. I don't it's alphabetical.</p>
<p>Sounds like EDers got theirs first and it was regional, not alphabetical. Then the RD ones were/are being sent.</p>
<p>D is an EDer and I think she was among the first to get one. We are in NorCal where others got one a day after us. We got ours on May 1, and it was strangely enough postmarked May 1 also.</p>
<p>I'm not sure about the regional thing. Glinda's an EDer from NJ, if I remember correctly, and as a NJer (and EDer) myself, I can say that we've (or I have) received stuff already.</p>
<p>On the other hand, there could be a mailing issue for you, glinda.</p>
<p>I hope all of you get your packets soon. :)</p>
<p>I got mine today, CautiousPesssimism, but thanks for the good word! :)</p>
<p>I just wanted to make this my 400th post. HOoray! :)</p>
<p>Mailman didn't come today!
And yay bookfreak!</p>
<p>any RD people get the package?</p>
<p>Any internationals get theirs yet?</p>
<p>I'm RD; no package (Central Florida)</p>
<p>I got a package last week, but it was just the I-20 form for visa application and information on international students' pre-orientation. No room-mate preference forms, I hope that one comes soon.</p>
<p>RDer, SoCal, no package....hoping for one today...:)</p>
<p>Thanx quirkily! :D</p>
