Well guys, I *might* have a paying job. My roommate's girlfriend's dad is apparently a higher-up at some software company, and he might be getting me a job. We'll see....I'll tell the non-paid guy to hold tight for a week, if I don't get this one, I'll take it. Otherwise, I'm golden.

The problem kinda sounds like you aren't LOOKING for co-ops.
Just because it has to work through the school, doesn't mean that you can't actively pursue one unless your school strictly forbids that.

I've been looking. I called about 60 companies total now.

You guys don't understand one aspect of the coop: when you start coop with a company, you do every term of coop with said company. Its not like internships where you can choose different places. Well, there are circumstances that warrant a change, but they are rare.

Not true here. While you CAN do your co-op at the same company, you don't HAVE to. Not at all.
