Bachelorette party

Good evening ladies and gentlemen!
More than a week has gone since I wrote to you last time and it's time to reflect on my current situation a bit, right? This week has been... Well, crazy as always. How should I start describing it then?

Last week I spent five full days with my thesis project since I had it opposed this week. (It's not ready yet, this was just about the plan of my thesis.) I spent a few days transcribing and after that already analyzing my transcription. It was yesterday when I found out I had been working for nothing. You see, I got the material for my thesis from a reseacher who already wrote her thesis about it and now she's working on her doctoral thesis based on the very same material. Since I got my material from her I'm supposed to ask which parts I can or cannot use in my own thesis. It was only after I already wrote 10 pages I found out that I won't be able to use them because the area I'm interested in is too close to her interests. I understand the point of course but it still sucks! It really does...

Last Friday, when I was still carefree and knew absolutely nothing about my coming problems concerning my thesis, we travelled to the countryside to finish the last arrangements for our wedding. We were supposed to paint our wedding plaques. (You have no idea how many wedding words I've been learning lately!) We've also been busy with designing party props for group pictures. (They are so cool!) On Saturday I was going to have the rehearsal hair dresser and the make up. Just before I was leaving my parents home, a strange looking car showed up in their front yard. A bunch of young men wearing black suits and sunglasses came knocking on our door and when I opened the door I found out that they were our friends from the University and high school. They literally stole my fiancé and took him out from the shower without any cash or phone or anything to his bachelor party. Later I heard they were travelling with my uncle's saunabus, a strange bus where there's a real sauna inside. They made my boyfriend play a role in wich he was a Russian investor who wanted to invest on Finnish beer business. He was wearing a big fur coat and leather pants...

I was surprised when they took him out like that but I was even more surprised when my friends showed up when I was having my make up done. You see, my parents live in a small city and there's no reason why my friends from the University would pop up there just like that! The make up artist was not ready with my other eye yet and it was almost impossible to keep my eyes closed knowing that my friends were staring at me at the same time! They gave me all kind of tasks that I was supposed to do. For example, I was supposed to behave as if I was a tourist guide in that little town. I was also supposed to collect pieces of advice for our marriage from people we met on the street. Later that night we went to this party place they had rented and we had a foot massage and a sauna there. I was also supposed to do some tasting with cheese and wine since I work in a wine store. It was so much fun! At night we went to the disco downstairs and came home only after four o'clock in the morning. I'm going to remember this surprise for sure!

This week has been, more or less, stressing out about everything: about the thesis, about the wedding, about the fact that I've too many courses going on! And of course stressing out about the Sandy Storm. That's how I've been practicing English this week. My friend from Angola (her father is a popular Angolan writer and he sent his daughter to study in Portugal, that's how I met her) is living in New York at the moment and she's been discribing the storm in Facebook. She also sent us some photos. They are frightening! I hope she and everyone else in the storm area is going to be okay! So I've been watching some news and reading news papers... That's about it. See you on Friday!
