Stay or Go

As of this morning I was informed that if I do not have a teaching job or full-time job by January I am expected to go home. I have no clue what this means for me, as my mother was in a rush and visiting my Aunt Carrol. So I guess I have a few choices to make in the next two months. So do I keep going as long and as hard as I can, or do I just give up? What happens to all I have here in Texas? How can I start a support system of friends back in NC before I get there so that I don't go crazy?
