But I'm not so sure it's pink eye. My left eye is very bloodshot, around the whole thing, but it hasn't itched at all. What might be up and what can I do about it?

works better than ANYTHING out there including visine
If it's pinkeye, there's likely to be swelling and gunk or pus around the tear duct (not just the usual "sand") and it may be uncomfortable or itchy. It may also take on a reddish, inflamed color.
If it doesn't go away in a couple days, drops don't help, and it' gets swollen, itchy, or uncomfortable, see a doctor. Pinkeye can be caused by allergies or infection. If it's allergies, he'll probably tell you to get antihistamines and eye drops. If it's an infection he'll either give you antibacterial drops (if it's bap in all cases.
Am I dying?
Of course this has to happen during finals week.

And just in case no-one has mentioned it, stop wearing contacts, and try and figure out how you got it. (Municipal swimming pools are a likely culprit, but dodgy contact lens batches or just not cleaning them properly are other possibilities
