Oh Kellie, I would die. It was an accident though I wouldn't beat yourself up about it too much.
I don't know if this is an option for you being overseas, but have you called Apple to see what it would cost to have them fix it? I ask because when I had issues with my old MBP, I took it to a local repair shop and they quoted me $750 to fix it. When I took it to Apple without Apple Care and way out of warranty, they told me they could refurb it for $250. Yours might be too far gone to repair but it might not hurt to ask so you know all your options. And if your original quote was from Apple feel free to ignore this. I couldn't tell from your post if it was or not.
