Overstay of Schengen Visa by 7 days

I'm an American student on vacation in Spain since entry on May 14th and am leaving the country on August 23rd. By my calculations I have overstayed my the 90 period by 7 days. How big of a problem is this.

I'm an American student on vacation in Spain since entry on May 14th and am leaving the country on August 23rd back to the States. By my calculations I have overstayed the 90 tourist period by 7 DAYS, I made a trip to England in June for 5 days (outside of the Schengen area) which took care of some days. I had previously had a flight booked out of BCN El Prat for the 6th of August, but had to change the date to the 23rd because my family was visiting/unexpected trip to Mallorca and the only affordable flight was the 23rd after that. My flight leaves out of BCN but makes a connection in LONDON HEATHROW, this is the part I am most concerned about as I have had friends tell me they are pretty stringent on visa overstays.

I know this is a dumb situation made by a careless mistake/miscalculation but does anyone have any experience with the same amount of overstay/flying out of London and the penalties? Reply to this

No problem. They will problably fly you straight to Guantanamo and leave your explanations to those guys over there.

I am surprised, you are a citizen of the most difficult Country to visit, and you make this kind of mistake?
