Yeah, that's a lot. Check for any smoke when it starts up... both out the tailpipe (should be blueish if oil is burning, and it should smell like it) or from the engine bay, and check for wet oil around the engine bay and your driveway. If your engine bay is too dirty, you can clean the engine off and then check again in a day or two or whatever. Check your coolant to see if oil has mixed in with it (though, in my experience, usually coolant will get into the oil, but I think both ways are possible). It's also possible for oil to leak into your transmission.
Also, is the plastic piece of your dipstick in good condition? It could be measuring the wrong oil level if not.
