Fernanda – Writing 1

Last weekend I deal with a unexpected situation.  Here in Brazil we comemorate Daddy´s Day on the second Sunday on August. This is a special day when all the family try to spend the day togheter having a pleasure lunch or dinner.

I felt relutant about travel to Araçatuba, a city located in the countryside, because it is too far from São Paulo, aproximately six hours by car. Moreover, I had to participate of Environmental Congress to present an article that I wrote about Forestries and Biodiversity, on the following Monday. The idea of something wrong  happens wiht the presentation really scared me.

However, even travel to Araçatuba was not what I wondering,  I decided to go to celebrate the date with my father. Considering that I frequentely leave the Law Office where I work late at night, I bought a bus ticket.

The travel to Araçatuba was exately what I imagine, boring! I passed seven hours at night in a bus, trying to sleep and ignore the sounds that some people do while sleeping. After a exausting night I arrived in Araçatuba.

During Saturday I read some texts related to my presentation.

I was relaxing watching television when I notice that was time to go to the bus station, in fact it was late, so I need to hurry. I put all my stuffs in a desorganized way inside my luggage, including my notebook with the olny copy of my presentation. I believed that put my laptop in the luggage was a good idea, nobody would seen me carrying it on the bus station.

I take a taxi and few minutes latter I arrived at the bus station. At that time, I felt myself more calm, specially when I gave my luggage for the bus company employee responsable for put it in the bus.

One more time, after seven hours in a bus, I arrived in São Paulo.  Feeling tired I leaved the bus to take my luggage, however, unfortunatly and for my complete surprise someone comitted a mistake and took my luggage. I was desparate when I realized that I did not have a copy of my presentantion and would not have enough time to write it again.

I believed that I was going to lost the Congress, mainly because I had to fill some documents for the bus company explaining what i had in my luggage, while one of those unprepared empleey that deal with public

II was explaining for an unprepared emploey

I was trying to think about an alternative solution in the same time that
