My home for the year

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... check out my $11 dollar comforter, pretty sweet huh? This is my bed, and that's my little chest of drawers which doubles as my night stand (my closet is packed out). This is the place I will call my home for the next nine months, not much but honestly it's kinda cozy.

This is my desk, as you can tell it's starting to feel a bit cluttered but I am trying to make it homey. I've got my little study area, a couple of drawers full of all my school stuff, a sweet poster of myself and my Uncle David white water rafting, my map of Glacier and my snowboard to remind me of the fact that I need to take study breaks to get active.

This is what we call a Color Code. Essentially this is one of the first parts of our studying of a book... in which we make observations by markings of things that we will want to examine and interpret later. Examples of the observations we are trying to look for are...
Names, Locations, Time Elements, Figures of Speech, Repeated Words, Themes, Old Testament Quotations, Emphatic Statements / Emotional Atmospheres, Connectives, Contrasts, Comparisons, Commands, Lists... pretty much those and anything else that could be significant. Yeah, so every page of my Bible will look like this at the end of the year. It's actually neat to see how much more you see when you look for these things, for there is so much depth to each and every paragraph when you really look at what is being said objectively.
