So it's that time of year...

... when opening the door to people you don't know might be a problem, and Oliver possibly scared one of them away.

There was a guy with a messenger bag knocking on Wally's door (and as such, I couldn't see his face), and Oliver started barking. I went to the peephole and looked, and saw the guy. Next time I looked, the guy was knocking on the door next to ours, but he stayed away from ours, and I really think it's because he heard Oliver. And Oliver's a small guy, but he has a BIG bark. I know that response is hardwired into him, but I gave him a treat anyway. Whenever he does something like that (this time being the only time I've seen where there was someone suspicious around) or starts growling at someone walking behind us when it's dark, I pet him and whisper "Good boy." Because he always does it for a reason.

So I just went checking to see if the books I'll need for Spring are up yet, and decided to check and see if Intro to Design had a book, and *GASP!* it does! Ordered it from one person on Amazon first because it was only $15 and fulfilled by Amazon, which meant free two-day shipping for me... until I checked the order status and it said the book wouldn't get there until after Christmas. And then I looked at the delivery estimate. December 26 - February 18. AHAHAHA. Should TOTALLY not be listed if it's out of stock. So I ordered straight from Amazon just to be absolutely safe. Not as cheap as I wanted it, but I still saved $5 off the school bookstore's price.

I am SO TIRED. Dealing with a massive chocolate craving right now, so I think I'm about to go snag a brownie and some milk, then get in my bed.
