Thanks for the support and advice, y'all.

1. School: yes, I could probably appeal my grade on the "plagiarized" paper and get an extension on the project, since I was in the hospital and I'm still not okay. The problem is, I don't know if I want to. I'm beginning to really hate my program and I don't think it's going to get my anywhere other than a spa. And do I really want to be a spa reflexologist? (Uh, no.) And since it's a diploma program (not a university-level degree) I can't even transfer into a different program. If I dropped out now I would have wasted $5000. If I don't drop out now, I will probably be wasting $19000 that I don't have.

2. Work: I don't want to get involved with this guy any more than absolutely necessary, and I don't have any concrete evidence of the abuse, so a restraining order is probably not an option. I don't think he intended to follow me here (he looked really surprised to see me) so that's a good sign, but I don't feel safe with him knowing where I work. I think my boss wants us to work it out ourselves. He's a pretty flaky manager so I guess that is just how he deals with things. Urrgh.

Anyways, I forgot if I already mentioned this but I do have another possible job lined up doing the same sort of thing, and it will probably be just as good - and the pay will be even better.
