Actually, you should be able to ask one of the senior students (your sempai) this question and they should be able to help you. Also, watch how the senior students conduct themselves and act towards their sempai. There is also an excellent book for beginning aikido students by Greg O'Connor called "The Aikido Student Handbook." It's relatively inexpensive and available at many good bookstores. I think it's actually required reading at some dojos. In addition to this website, the following are also some good resources regarding aikido, among many:
