Eric felt really good about his interview and loved the people at Alabama Birmingham. If he gets accepted and decides to go there, he's considering a joint degree with a hospital informatics master's. He loves technology so I think it might be a good fit if that's what he decides on.
I learned a lot about corporate social responsibility and public relations and made some great connections with professionals and students in San Jose. Good times.
Now on to the not-so-good times of the weekend:
Computer viruses!
Ugh. One found its way onto Eric's computer (which I had borrowed for the weekend so I could have InDesign and work on some things for PRSSA). It hence found its way onto the USB drive I was using, and through that made its way onto my computer. My virus software caught it and my computer wasn't infected, but Eric's was too far gone and he had to do a system reboot.
Blah.

There is a special place for the people who created those computer viruses. I wouldn't want to spend eternity where they are going....
Did Eric lose a lot of important information?
Yuck! Sorry about the virus. Our computer had one once, a really, really bad one. That emailed itself out to our families. And our computer was never the same again. I hope your experience is not as bad....
But on the upside, I'm happy you two enjoyed your respective trips.
The one upside to getting a virus that you can't just get rid of with a program is that you get to reboot and only install (in your wisdom) the applications that you used the most in the past. I use quite a few...maybe I'll make a post about that some day.
I'm happy that it is all over with. It wasn't without any hiccups, but the Badgers are still intact:)
I think that getting a Master's that includes technology is a good thing. Hospitals are going to be desperate for that kind of combination in the near future.
Glad you knew how to kill that virus!
