The New Zealand Christadelphian Youth Conference 2012

To be honest... It wasn't as awesome as I thought it would be. Some of it due to insomnia and a very thin sleeping bag. Some of it due to hype that was not fulfilled. The last time I went to Youth Conference it was pretty much the highlight of my church year plus it ranked pretty high on my overall year. So I was expecting great things from this one, but meh. The activities were substandard, the talks were incredibly short, the discussion groups went on for to long ad weren't focused enough. Bear in mind this is all my opinion. It was still a great camp but I would have loved for a few things to change. Plus the hosts sometimes seemed to be more aggressive about things this year. And nature didn't come to the party for some of it. The weather was nice and sunny but the river was bitterly cold and smaller so my kayaking adventure with two friends wasn't as awesome as we'd hoped. But still. If I'd stayed at home I would't have had the kayaking adventure or seen a lot of my friends.

I must however admit that the aftermath of conference was awesomer than conference was itself. (Awesomer is apparently not a word but screw you dictionary) Screwing around in wellington, eating riding four person bikes, seeing how many police cars we could take out in a video game. It was pretty fun and in my opinion way better than any camp. I still love camps but just visiting someone and doing whatever you want with other people from that place is the most fun that I will probably ever have. I suppose that it can be related to my like of going where I want when I please. It seems incredibly cardinal when I look at like that but still I enjoy my freedom. Whatever that freedom may be.

Still, I like the word still as an introduction to counterpoints or even unrelated pieces of information. It's hard not to have an opinion on everything. I suppose that somewhere there is a word that means someone who forms opinion despite no experience. There is a word like that but with different context. However  I can't remember how to spell it. *Shrugs*

Miss talking to you. Spose I should start conversation. But I'm still hoping that you start.
