I am not amused.

Because of my university registration problem, I cannot have my university ID card.
Without my ID card, I can't borrow books.
Without books, I can't do the essay I have to do by Monday.

THIS THING SUCKS MAJORLY.

Don't know what I'm talking about?

To enrol into university you need to present them with your original certificates from your secondary

Oh man, this sucks.. I hear you. *hugs* Maybe if a friend of yours in the same university went with you to the library and you used their ID card to borrow the books? It works here in the greek universities -which are nothing like the british ones but I figured maybe you could try it?

*hug*
I don't know, most people have to do this essay now and we have limits on books (I think it's 3?) And if they need to borrow books for THEIR essay, it leaves me in pretty much the same shit.
I might just have to bring my laptop in and copy the paragraphs/pages I'm interested in... >_< Not really looking forward to it but I'll get it done, at least! I emailed my tutor about it although there's really nothing he can do, but I'll see what he says, for the heck of it.

I don't know if we can do that, because I finished the IB and they are generally uptight bastards :P You can't just phone to their offices in Switzerland and ask for copies, apparently there's a procedure and a waiting list for transcripts etc. >_< And it takes weeks. I might try it but not immediately, I'll have to figure out how to submit a request first. It is a good idea though, for the off-chance that something happens. :)

Haha I no has HQ DSLR like yourself :P I will try the local libraries though, I'm probably going to do the essay on A Streetcar Named Desire and that's pretty classic so I might find something of use.
If that is the registry/admissions office, they don't really care. I've been dealing with them for four months and they haven't been very understanding. ¬_¬ I can only try to deal with it myself, because I can't count on them.

Ow. Real painful >_<
I've had this sort of thing happen before at school...but we have a 10 book limit per subject area. So I've always been able to mooch off a friend.

Good luck with the essay and hope things somehow turn out well >_>

[sleepingwgods]

Yes indeed :(
Ahhh 10 books per subject area? You're so lucky. ^^

Thank you hun, I hope so too. Gambarimasu!! :D

furthermore, because trust me, mooching ID cards off your friends/flatmates/classmates/whatevers is NOT the best long-term inconvinience option, go to your reception at the library and ask for a pass, or something.
then go to your Uni hub, explain the situation, sound exasperated but reasonable, put on your innocent girly smile and ASK how this can be resolved [i.e. I'm just trying to find out the best way to handle this, because unfortunately the lack of a student card does not allow me to fully reach my potential as a student.]
maeh, ti lew re malaka, xtypa me. alla go and tell somebody in charge. they'll figure it out.

[sleepingwgods]

I went but the pass is like a day pass thing and the onyl way to borrow books is with an ID card, hence my problem. If I could borrow books with that day pass I would be fiiiine.
Uni hub = grammateia? K na tous pw ti? 4 mhnes m'exoune sto "lypoumaste alla we need to see your original qualifications". And I've cried while on the phone with a woman from the Student Centre. Oloi mou lene try a local library~ e afto 8a kanw.

I'd slap someone NGL.

[sleepingwgods]

Seriously, I want to slap a lot of people over there. NGL :P Uptight English bastards. But I don't think it would help me much :(
