HipGno...
You can look at these things a different way (is the cup half empty or half full?):
1) Your cats both got terribly sick but you were able to save them and now they are doing better than before.
2) You left your job because you have high principles. You now have another job which is bringing some money in while you continue looking for a new job. Other temp jobs may come along in the meantime to fill in the gaps.
3) At least you HAVE family that you can borrow money from in emergencies.
4) a car hit you while you were biking, but amazingly, you came away uninjured, and even your damaged bike is repairable eventually.
5) a relationship that was not working out ended. You are free to explore new possibilities should they arise. Or just explore being yourself for a while.
6) you can probably get them to rush-process your paperwork if you march in and explain your situation. If you skip this semester however, you probably won't have to make loan payments if you are still don't have a permanent job yet.

Hoping this presents another way of looking at it, or just a little food for thought....
