Clutch sinks to floor, doesnt come up!!

I drove to CT this weekend, no problems with the car, got in sunday morning to drive home and the clutch sank to the floor. The catch point was also extremely low. Then today i go to drive to school and the pedal simply didnt come back up, couldnt even get the car into reverse. Any thoughts?

O btw, my master cyclinder is full, checked already.

You mean clutch resevoir is full.

Slave cylinder is bad or a hydraulic line is leaking air.

STAINLESS STEEL CLUTCH LINES FTMF-UYEHDKKIEJDIFE-W (I don't know what "UYEHDKKIEJDIFE" is btw lol).

Jesus!!! 460 for bleeding the air out of the clutch lines? It takes me and my buddy 5 mins to do that with a wrench and an empty bottle of gatorade to catch the fluid! Well you live and learn, carry a tool kit with you next time you go on a long trip, you never know when you might need it
