Bummer, transmissions get expensive real fast. A double whammy with the head gasket might be fatal, unless you're really attached to it.
Maybe look into some barebones cheap transportation for now? Like an old Honda or Toyota with a stick and a ton of miles. A friend of mine scored a mid 90s Tercel for free a while back. It had like 250k on the clock, the red paint had faded to a flat pink, and it had psychedelic flower seat covers, but the damned thing ran like a top. I borrowed it one day and took it from Boston to Providence and back without so much as a hiccup.
