I let it cool down for a bit and then checked the oil level and it was good. I didn't want to drive the car to work this morning but I had no choice (18 miles). Same thing, I get 3/4 of the way to work and the coolant light comes on blue, I pull into work and just before I turn the car off it beeps and the oil light comes on. I'm not a gearhead. I know the basics of an engine but if anyone can help me get an idea of what I might be up against I would very much appreciate it. I know there are alot of very knowledgeable people on this site!

Change your coolant temperature sensor. Its $9.99 at advance autoparts or $27 at the dealership.
I would also recommend that you buy a new retaining clip for it from the dealership for $.50 just incase you drop yours waaaaaaaaaaaaay down into the engine bay.
