Parking Tickets

I'm in class and I'm dreading going out to the parking lot even though I'm dying to get out of class. I'm worried I have another $20 ticket. You see, I have no parking pass for this university, even though I've been a graduate student for a year and a half. Parking permits must be obtained between the hours of 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM Monday through Friday at the parking office. This university is an hour away from my home so I can never leave work and get here before they close. This is also the reason I can't pay my parking ticket. It must be paid in person at said office during the previously stated impossible hours. You see my dilemma?
