My girlfriend lost her job and failed one of her nursing classes, possibly also failing out of the program altogether (all in the same week) and is just being really nonchalant about the whole thing. I'm pretty sure she won't be able to make rent and she'll expect that I'll help out. It's more complicated than just dumping her, there's a child involved, so I'm just like, "I sure as shit hope she's getting serious after the holidays."

Damn dude!(dudette?) That's heavy, In my experience 'failing out' of program or course is never a surprise. Maybe next year can be focused around better communication with professors & life partners. Some earnest human interaction goes a long way when grades decline.
