Why SU Sucks

lenozzedifigaroI will now recount my entire history of applying to Shenandoah University, Conservatory of. Let us remember it was not my second or even third choice of schools, considering I only applied to three, rather it was my fourth choice and now I do not believe it should even hold that title.
Early Febrary: I read through the enitre bloody website trying to collect any and all information possible on what I need to do to apply properly. I am unsuccessful, as will be explained later. However, I am not disheartened and instead apply anyway, online, where the bastards can immediately take and receive my money without a backward glance.
Mid March: I have heard nothing from them except for the constant SU newletters I get in my e-mail which I most violently do NOT recall signing up for. I speak to my professors on such matters and proceed to e-mail the music department. What, pray tell, must one do to find out what the status if one's application is in this bloody conservatory?
A week later: E-mail them, apparently, for they will not take the initiative to tell you that yes, their website sucks and that's why they have a satellite site set up just for such purposes of confusing and discouraging their applicants. They tell me I am missing two vital pieces of application. Fuck you, I say.
A week after that: Okay, here is the other information you wanted! Dr. Green says, Wonderful! Let me know what days you are available for audition and I will set up a time for you! I say, Oh, THANK YOU for your magnanimousness in such matters, these dates would be lovely!
The same day: I'm sorry, but even though all our other audition dates are on the weekend which is obvious because that's the only time anyone in college auditioning for grad school can spare a moment to audition, we CANNOT set up such a time for you because DUH, you stupid girl, our professors all live off campus and don't ever come in on the weekend unless they bloody well have to. And as for your pitiablequestion of whether or not you can just send in a tape, well, that's a silly question. So I'm just not going to answer it and you can assume I mean no with my obnoxious silence.
