This is definitely a time to put everything on hold and think about life for a bit.
School, jobs, and startup can wait - talk to a dean about your finals, you can take them at the end of the summer. As far as jobs, write "Expected graduation: Summer 2008", on your resume and get a letter from your school explaining there are extraordinary circumstances that prevented you from taking your finals.
Spend time in places without distractions (mountain, park, beach?) and let your mind wander for awhile - think about life, about what your roommate's passing means in respect to your life. When you feel ready to get back, you'll be more focused than before.
Death of a close one is always a sobering experience - take some time to take it in fully before getting on with things.
