As Far As I Can Tell

So I finally got around to getting proper Illinois insurance on my moped and truck. Moped insurance was only $76 a year; I guess I can live with that. It’s definitely more expensive to own a moped in Illinois though. I was going to let it slide for a while without insurance, but the fear of getting caught has been making me leery about riding my moped. It’s up to a $500 fine for driving an uninsured vehicle, plus a ticket.

I went through Progressive, who didn’t have the absolute lowest price available for my truck, but had the cheap moped price. State Farm wanted to charge me $305 year for my Motobecane; I couldn’t even sell it for that. I could have got one with State Farm and the other with Progressive, but Progressive lets me manage my account online and it’s just easier to have it all with one company. Choosing convenience over money makes me a sucker.

I stumbled across the WMU Student Success Stories website last night. In order to get some funding to go on the New York trip my senior year we had to promise to keep the school up-to-date about our activities. I think they wanted to prove that the trip was somehow quantifiably advancing to our careers.

So, for my official blurb about my professional career throughout the years, keep an eye on that website.
