CV joint? brakes? ugh i have school in the morning and i don't want to drive my car home and damage it. if it was wheel bearings it would have got gradually louder too...

the car isn't pulling or acting any different, and it sounds like it's only on one part of the wheel (not a steady grind) i guess i know what i'll be spending my time doing tomorrow afternoon
I doubt very much that it is the wheel bearings. You say " it sounds like it's only on one part of the wheel (not a steady grind". That sounds like it is a worn pad on the disc.
Plan B. It may be the lining under the guard rubbing.
