So the even greater news is that my windshield is really only going to be $152.45 to replace!!!!!!! 
I got a better quote today and so I scheduled it.  They’re coming
to school tomorrow, I paid by credit card and unless it’s raining, I’m
all set.  I’m really just thrilled to get it taken care of so
easily and cheaply.  Just goes to show that you shouldn’t avoid
things for like, say, a whole year when a simple phone call can make
things much simpler.
