No write up this is top secret stuff 
Kevin as the registrar maintains a list of reserved numbers. As a newbie he'll assign you a number. The best way to prepare is to bring a roll of 1" blue painters masking tape. It won't damage the paint and you can make whatever number out of it.
It's great that you're thinking of all of these things before the event. Have you read anything that is an intro to DE?
Generally we expect new students to know nothing. But I will say that I also instruct with NASA (another club) and those students are generally more prepared as newbies and ask questions like I've seen that you have been doing.
If you show up as a new student and you know about:
Turn in points
Apex
Track out
Then you're ahead of most people and it will make it easier for the instructor and you
Instead of spending 2-3 days learning the terminology if you know it ahead of time it's much better.
There are also some great books on driving that I can recommend (and other people on here will recommend)
