While we're on the topic of computers, this is a friendly PSA to remember to get your plan for a back-up. My plan is to auto back-up my school work folder to my cloud-drive of choice (Dropbox) and have an external hard-drive as a periodic local back-up for everything. Whatever you do, save yourself the stress of having to go through a catastrophic computer failure the first week of December. **knock on wood**

Also, you can set-up Microsoft OneNote to auto sync your entire notebook to their SkyDrive.

Moving in Pinnacle Ridge Saturday. Anyone want to help unload a few things Saturday? Beer and thanks will await you.

What time are you moving and do you still need another set of hands?

Still would welcome help! Getting there probably mid-afternoon, maybe 2-3. I'll PM you.

Lots of people moving in to Pinnacle today!

Btw, if you're in Durham now/coming in the next few days, cherish this cooler weather. Normally at this time of year we're hitting at least 100 degrees every day, so this is pretty miraculous.

I was kind of bummed. I really wanted to get some pool time in before classes start. Although, it did make for nice running weather.

I'm sure it will be back to the usual heat next week when you have to be dressed up for LEAD week

And the weeks after that. Well into September, really. Fall doesn't start here until Halloween.

Just moved into Pinnacle! What number buildings are ya'll in?

[SplitMyPants]

I just realized that we don't get Labor Day off. That's a bummer.

I think you're looking at the course section, you have to look here to see your overall section. http://law.duke.edu/curriculum/schedulefall2014

Where it says "small section 2" or "sections 2 and 6" under the class.

Whoops. That's exactly what I did. Thanks for clearing that up!

Hey, at least they'll be a useful thing that you can save forever, though. Right? ....

Just bought my Con Law book on Amazon for 7 bucks ( Duke bookstore is selling it used for $146). Happy dance.

OP where is our poll?

[bluebonnetss]

I'm able to see my schedule, but not the books I need for the classes? What am I doing wrong?

[Serett]

Section 6

^^^That.

Yeah buddy

Textbooks were available for two of my classes but not the third.

1. Log into ACES
2. Under the Academics section and below the class schedule grid, there's a link that for "enrollment book bag"
3. After clicking, scroll down the next page and select the new link "view textbooks for my courses"

On it!

I didn't do quite that well, but buying all NEW from Amazon saved me $0.25 relative to buying all USED from the bookstore.

Still spent an arm and a leg, though...
