Not Quite April Fools

I'm ashamed to admit that I've found a Justin Bieber song that I like. Even though he seriously looks like a girl, even though he seriously sounds like a girl, even though I thought he was three years younger than he is, even though he has the same kind of annoying following as Twilight, there is a song that I like. But before I reveal the song, I need to tell a story.

One day a few weeks ago, I was sitting at my faithful computer looking at I Can Has Cheezburger and the affiliated Memebase page. I had seen a lot of pictures related to days of the week and some random girl, and I finally became curious enough to investigate what this all meant when the song in question was humorously compared to Bieber's song Baby. So I watched the song in question on YouTube. Stupidest, most annoying song ever. And I'm convinced the voice distortion thing is used to try to hide the lack of talent. Anyway, the song had been compared to Baby, and so I had to find that song on YouTube so that I could compare it to the other song and finally understand the joke. There was a strange anticipation as I prepared to listen to a Bieber song for the first time, or so I thought. Imagine my astonishment when the song started and I recognized it somehow. Imagine my astonishment when the song got to the chorus and I realized how I recognized this song. Yes, from the radio, but also, this was the song that I had always imagined was sung by a female, by a slutty female no less. I about died laughing. I had been using headphones so as not to disturb Nidhal. He became curious when I started laughing, and so I took out the headphones and asked him if he knew who was singing. He didn't, and when I told him, I think I partially shattered his world. He had always pictured this song being sung by a hot sexy, blonde woman. His reaction was priceless.

And then iTunes had this deal, 38 songs for $10, and I thought that even though a Bieber song was included, there were enough songs that I liked to make the purchase worth it. As it turns out, however, the Bieber song was actually enjoyable. The song is titled Pray, and I liked the general melody before the words but the words are nice, too. So yes, I admit, I like a Justin Bieber song.

Moving on to my usual reason for complaining: EMU. I had checked the date of graduation at the beginning of the semester on the academic calendar and it was April 17. I had checked the date again in the middle of March on the graduation information website when I put the event on my phone's calendar. And then this past Wednesday, a friend of mine who is also graduating had just printed out the page of graduation instructions and brought them to class. On the top of the page, the date of graduation had magically changed to April 16. I don't normally use such expressions, but seriously WTF Eastern? Change the date of graduation without officially notifying anyone? You have got to be kidding me. This is just another example of the total incompetence of EMU. How unprofessional can you get? I thought they had about reached their limit (I couldn't imagine how it could get worse), but they seem determined to outdo themselves. Unbelievable. I am so glad that I will be graduating this spring and therefore be rid of this awful place. I regret ever giving a cent of my money to this ridiculous "university".
