My car is dead :-(

I was looking for an apartment in Minneapolis for my new job, I had just found one and was driving back home to Indiana. Heading East on I-94 through Wisconsin, 70mph in the right hand lane. All of the sudden a deer jumps up the embankment...there was no where to go. Bent my intercooler, broke my radiator, creased the hood, shattered a headlight, pushed the radiator support back about 6 inches, snapped the foglight brackets, shattered the grill. Thats all I could tell last night, I couldn't even open the hood so who knows what it is like under there. All I know as I sat and waited for the wrecker and trooper to come all of the coolant drained out of the car. It was a sad sight. Not sure what will happen with the car. It is a 2000 9-3 base with auto and 75k miles. It sucks because I just bought new wheels/tires for it, replaced the DI cassette, recently purchased a roofrack...ahhh.
The timing bites also, with my first job out of school starting in two weeks and having to move all of my stuff from Indiana to Minnesota.
Guess I will see what the adjuster says. :-(
