Crazy Realization

I just realized that Congress-Bundestag encompasses all of the US and is much bigger than just my little section. I was selected out of my region whose organization is called AYUSA. There are 45 students going from AYUSA to the language camp in Hedersleben. Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange Program however is made up of all the different regions put together, and 250 students are going all togher from the US.

AYUSA encompasses only Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Southern California, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.

There are 5 total regional organizations including AYUSA that the country is divided up into.

I'm kind of bummed that I won't be with people from all over the US. Students from South Western states are more likely to live like me and be less different, which is too bad. I was excited to meet all the different people.

I got confused with the conference calls, thinking that they were for every time zone, but none of them were in Eastern time, only Central, Mountain, and Pacific time zones.
