Default Ugh. Check engine light on

Tonight on my way home, the check engine light on my 95 came on and stayed on. I know it isn't from any modifications because all I did in the past week was have the oil changed and uhhhh get a new antenna. All the filters, plugs, etc were changed a few months ago, so I'm afraid that it may be something more serious/expensive than I would like it to be. Should it be safe for me to drive the card for the next 3 days until I can get it to my mechanic on Saturday or should I just park it till then to be safe?

Hard to say. Is it running right? The MIL is usually caused by the malfunction of a smog device or sensor.
