Janna, someone should really speak to you about the power of encouraging notes.  Had you received one encouraging note or a few words of wisdom today, perhaps you wouldn't be so distraught.  I think the simple 'cure' is to spend several hours fellowshipping with some other believers--or at the very least you should schedule some hang out time with someone to hear their 'life story.'  (The over-used phrase that I can't stand)

Heh. Sheep. Makes me think of Nietzsche.

How fun that we get to simultaneously attend that most august of insitutions, Westminster, hehe. Oh your comment about Harvard cracked me up, we just had a guy transfer from Westminster East and he informed me our campus is a little more mellow, he attributed it to the smaller campus and student body and I think much of it has to do with the constant sunshine, you can't be crochety with all of it. If I may be so bold after my first semester at Westminster I would like to add to your buzzword list a couple that I'm sure will soon be on it: archetypal theology, ectypal theology, and christological intent. Lovely terms to meditate on, so what is your major? we can foster some transamerican solidarity over the oppressive workload of seminary. maybe start our own group and make up our own jargon.

You are so totally right about adding archetype. I think Christological (or Christology) can be number 6 on the list- just remember that we're talking about words that have a perfectly good everyday English equivalent. So painful as it is, we may have to leave off words like ectypal and elenctic.

Add "Bullgeschicta".
