Yep, it was the upper radiator hose, but it was a pain to fix (for a hose).
I had to remove the air hose to get to it, and then I had to twist my arm
into a really awkward position to remove the clamp attached to the engine,
seeing as how I had to use pliers to clamp it open. The end attached to the
radiator wasn't much better, as I had to unscrew it sideways. After I
finally got the hose on, I filled up the coolant tank with antifreeze, and
like an idiot, immediately drove to the nearest Arby's.
I am an idiot.
It took me a while to figure out that the engine was overheating because it
needs more coolant than a single tankfull to operate. Fortunately, I didn't
let it get too hot before I added some more and let it circulate.

Well it was good experience for you anyway in spite of the typical
aggravation that you encountered along the way, and the ultimate outcome was
favorable. Take a bow.
