Broken torque converter

Alright guys. My torque converter died (won't lock up).

How bad is it for my car to drive with a broken one? It'll get fixed probably mid-may, but it's my DD, so I have to get to and from work.

It's not gonna cause any severe damage, is it?

It's not an issue of cost...I'm a college student so I have no access to garage space or tools until i go back home.
