the gift i would like to receive

The gift I would like to receive is a Play Station 3 or 4. I would play with this console all day in my room and eat junk food. I would like this because I am envious of my boyfriend. He has one and, although I can play when I go his home, it's not for long. In addition it much better playing in the console than me, and he mocks because I lose constantly.  If I have a PlayStation I could practice and surely I would win, and now I who would laugh. I think that there is little chance of getting, because my mother believes the console is a unnecessary and consumer gift. She could give me money for a trip or study some interesting activity. Besides the Play Station is too expensive, and my mother will believe that I have fallen into the clutches of capitalism. I think that I could to convince to my father, but also my mother could convince him that my idea is not the best.  Well, actually, I also think that I have fallen into the clutches of capitalism, but the desires I have to beat my boyfriend are stronger than years of teaching on the solidarity and anti-consumerism. So I do not think I get so sad if I do not get it.

summer plans

In the summer, i would like to visit Colombia. I would go with my friend Ximena. We have planned this trip three  years ago, but first she won an exchange scholarship in the summer of 2014, then I was student exchange too in the summer of 2015. So, this summer is perfect for us to go because both are in Santiago. I have already traveled with her and we have similar interests regarding travel. I like to travel with her because she is relaxed and funny.

I would go to Colombia and meet many cities such as Medellin, Neiva and Palmira. I would like to eat many food dishes from the cities and know many places that are in the forest or on the beach. Also Ximena and I would really like the Colombian accent, so I imagine we will be very happy in those places.

But this plan is only for February (and may be part of March),  because in January I think I will stay in Santiago. I have to do my thesis and work for a teacher.  In my plans I should advance so much in my undergraduate thesis to take the exam in March or April 2016. If I don’t finish this stage of the thesis, I can not go to Colombia in February and Ximena will kill me… She really kill me. In definitive  I think that this pressure is good because then I will advance forward faster.
