Default Bleeding The Clutch System

I was driving down the road in my 94 Accord and my clutch started sticking to the floor. Cut car off and back on and pulled clutch up and it was fine for another two miles. Did it again and got out and checked the clutch fluid levels and they were dry. So i got the car towed home. Went to bleed the clutch system by myself without any bleeder tool and this is how i did it:
1: Pump clutch hella times. On the last pump i pushed the pedal to the floor and thats where it stays of course cause there is no pressure to it at all.
2: Release bleeder screw and fluid comes pouring out.
3: Tighten screw back
4: Pull pedal back up
5: Added more fluid

I did this about 5 times and i still have no pedal resistance. Im pretty sure that the master cylinder is still good because when u press the clutch, bubbles come up in the reservoir. This is a sign the cylinder is still good right? What do i need to do to get a pedal back up in this car!? Im aggravated because i have work in 4 hours. Even though the pedal is sticking to the floor by itself is that still not good enough? Do i need to get the self bleeder to make suction? PLEASE HELP!!!

Yes, you are going to need a a bleeder "system" of some sorts - many methods.

Pumping the pedal and then releasing the bleeder isn't going to get it.
