Also, something they're doing this that I didn't notice in past years is what they call a commuter pass where you stay somewhere else and go to the convention.[/size] [/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romans1513 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Yeah, definitely skip the commuter thing and stay at the Gaylord resort- those resorts are AMAZING! (I went to a conference at the one in Nashville a few years ago) Well, the thing is, I'm studying abroad right now, and I would like to spend all of Christmas break home with my family who I will not have seen in 5 months... and I would like to have a couple days to settle into school and new house and new roommates- if I go to the conference not only will I not have that but I'll miss the first day of classes! So I just don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjtina Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) so how did it go?!!!!!!!! Edited January 7, 2008 by jmjtina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenna311 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Oh my goodness! Conference was so amazing! our entire group left just so on fire for the Lord! I definitely am coming back to my campus renewed and ready to start my Bible study. Seriously, I just regained so much of the joy that I seemed to have lost after a difficult semester. I feel like I want to stand on the green [our big space on campus that everybody walks by] and just tell everyone that passes how awesome our God is and what He has done! Also, I heard that the lead singer from Third Day is considering converting to Catholicism, and that they loved playing for us. Yay! I can't wait to see what is going to happen on campus this semester after such a wonderful start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But other than that, there wasn't much of an audience. I liked what I did hear though--I just wasn't down in the exhibit hall a whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 College students are very boring compared to high school audiences. And they are way more broke too, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they had Subway/Dominos, although those prices still weren't great---only $2 for a coke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
