You're a good sport about it and aren't hiding from your mistakes, so you can expect a lot of help from the members here along with a healthy dose of (well deserved) shit. :p
Take care of your obligations to everyone else first, and get your electrical issue figured out as a first priority. Download a copy of the E30 Bentley manual and start troubleshooting.
That'll get your car running for now, though I agree that driver's education might be a good idea for you as well unless you have a good explanation for how you managed all of that carnage in one day...

Originally posted by J Mid View PostI already took and passed drivers ed with an A+ drivers ed is kind of a joke and didn't really help me. I have a Bentley manual already. I will take a look. Electrical stuff scares me though.

With that stated, start by examining your fuses. A surprisingly high percentage of electrical problems are a result of blown or corroded fuses (I write from experience, most recently an E28 which had a few problems which were all fuse related). After you've done that, look in the damaged areas for pinched or cut wiring.

Yeah driver's ed is a joke. I don't know if you're old enough, but sign up for one of those driver's training courses they have for teens and whatnot. I forget exactly what they're called and who hosts them. Doing some autocross would help too.
