Okay, first thing, welcome to the forums. Second, thanks for giving a detailed description, it helps a ton. Third, chill! Chances are your iPod will be fine (I can never guarantee it, but it sounds like you have a fairly common problem). What you should do is go to the support page I have listed below and follow the instructions. Just click on a link if you don't know how to do something. If you need any clarification, feel free to post back.
