Ugh

So, here's the deal - on Nov.20th the university shut down our internet. We had a virus on our PC and it's the second virus we have gotten since we've lived here, and therefore our "second offense". They told us to fix the problem and then wait for Student Judicial Affairs (SJA) to contact us (since it was our second offense). We fixed the problem and waited and waited. Finally Roy replied to the email (on Dec. 13th) and told them we had fixed the problem. They emailed back and said we needed to meet with SJA. Well, now it was winter break, so we decided to just wait till we got back from vacation. When we got back Roy went to the SJA office and asked them what the heck he was supposed to do. They set him up with an interview with like the top guy. He finally had that interview today and the guy pretty much said that it was ridiculous that we had to meet with him since our first offense was like 3 years ago and he's sorry that we got lost in the paperwork and that we'd get our internet back. He actually apologized a couple of times. Argh. Oh well. The good news is that we have internet now! Okay, technically we've had internet this whole time because we can pick up our neighbors wireless (and they are our friends, so they don't mind) but that wasn't always a reliable signal and it was only for the laptop and Roy needs the laptop at school and most of the time that he is home. And I just like the desktop better. I'm so happy to have it back!

And so, my fans, as soon as I figure out where I left off and where to begin, I will update you on our birthdays, Christmas, etc, etc, etc :)

we had a problem like that when we were at BYU. there was a virus that was spreading across campus and they gave us a program to get rid of it, but the program required a registered copy of Windows, which, uhm, we didn't have because we had a copy of someone's copy. Anyway, it was a big pain. Sounds like yours was even bigger. Glad to hear you got it worked out.
