[Solved] How to un-source /etc/profile?

I recently installed autojump. The directions given after install say to source /etc/profile in your .bashrc. I stupidly typed source /etc/profile instead of editing it into ~/.bashrc. Now my PS1 shows up as the default prompt, but I would like to have my custom prompt back. In short, how to I change my system back to the way it was before I typed source /etc/profile?

source .bashrc

I tried that first, but it didn't change back.

EDIT: Ooops... I left source /etc/profile at the end of my .bashrc. That's what was causing the problem. Thanks!

You might want to put it at the beginning of .bashrc, not the end.
