And it's been bothering me for weeks now.
I thought I'd gotten it out by submerging my face in a pot of water and blinking a lot, but it seems to still be there. I've been waking up every day with crap in my eyes, and as the day progresses it gets worse, to the point where I'm rubbing it constantly after about twelve hours awake. It has been getting somewhat better - the first few days were terrible - but it's still annoying as hell.
I'm terrible at adulting, so I have no idea where I go to deal with this, in terms of health care (I'm in the US). Do I go to a normal hospital, do I schedule an appointment with an optometrist, do I just deal with it until it goes away (which was my initial plan, but at two weeks from onset of symptoms I'm not sure that's such a good idea at this point)?

Go to an eye doctor before you lose your site in that eye. Talking from experience here. Do it now or tomorrow first thing. It could have worked it's way into your eye at this point and it will dig further every day until you go blind from it going so far in it starts to do damage inside.
I'm not kidding I had it happen to me with s tiny piece of metal the doctor had to dremel it out.
