For any of you who are familiar with the books of John Bellairs, you will know that a fuss closet is where one of his main characters goes when he wants to yell and rant and swear.
Since there are no fuss closets in the Uni library where I am now I am forced to do my fussing here before I explode.

@&^%#*@*#&^*$(*&^*(@%*&@#(*^!@&^@&*(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Explanation: I just found out I owe a ton of money in library fines which really suc*^ right before the end of the first semester. And if my parents find out they will be really angry with me.

Thank you for putting up with my ranting.
No reply necessary, just letting off some steam.

Feel better, now?

Advice from Auntie Ren:
Don't pay the whole thing at one go. Tell them in a letter that you are a student , and you intend to repay them at the rate of X (very small amount of)dollars a month. They have to accept this (well they do under English Law, at least) and it will not be such a hole in the pocket.Good luck.

Ren - at most universities that I know of, you can't register for classes/get your grades/graduate if you have over a certain amount due in fines at the library, so a letter wouldn't help much...

Best advice: Get the books in NOW and pay the money as soon as you can. And tell your parents, tell them you were disorganized and now you have this nice system where you have a calendar by your door that you write all your due dates in so it won't happen again.

hmmm, speaking from experience LadyM?

Actually... no. Somehow, I've always remembered! (Although this semester I would just renew the books I had whenever I remembered so they're now due at the end of the year, and I'll just return them when I'm done with the semester.
