I think: Sweet, this is all starting to make sense. I can synthesize this information now that I've made this hypothesis outloud.
Everyone else thinks: Dang, that girl has a lot of strong opinions about things. I wonder if I should come up with a pointed question to challenge her.
Seriously though... It's kind of difficult when speaking is one of the ways I actually process information in a room full of other educated seminary students among whom I'm the super young liberal political theory kid. My hope is that by speaking my thoughts I at least make the people who aren't speaking at all think about things? I thoroughly appreciate the fact that I kind of have "seminary parents" now though; three people in my OT502 class have taken it upon themselves to affirm or challenge the young kid. It's two women and a man who are all my parents age; guess which one is challenging and which is affirming.
Seminary is a very interesting place.
