try getting a different browser(firefox/chrome) and install it on the machine a lot of times the blocked sites will be relative to the browser not sure why but it worked back when I was in school.

try the teamviewer hompage .. from there you can make a session on to your pc .. without the teamviewer client

Logmein or an actual RDP session (if you know how to set it up) are both good options. The benefit to using RDP itself is that you can change it to whatever port you want (ideally finding one that they don't have blocked, assuming they aren't doing Layer 7 blocking or something).

If you want to wrestle the system a bit, find a open port you can run SSH through, set up a SSH server at home (i.e a very small linux server to use as a proxy, via i.e vmware if you dont have a physical server around).

Open a SSH session, and allow tunneling, then you can use a fair few different freeware programs to open whatever software you want unblocked, and redirect its traffic through the ssh tunnel.

Think Proxofier allows you to route full programs through a specific SOCKS/HTTP tunnel.

-edit-

This would allow you to run mstsc (Microsoft's RDP software) as well.
