It idled fine, the headlights weren't dimming of flashing, and I drove back to campus without any problems. The ABS light also started coming on, also dimming/brightening with voltage change. My first inclination is the alternator. Could it be worse than that? I thought all the lights in the Christmas tree would come on if the alternator was going.

If it is the alternator, how big of a deal is that to change? Could I do it myself? Would you do it yourself?
Check your belt tension.

That's all I got....
