At last! My
Letter of Admission from Heidelberg arrived this week. Now my plans for next
year are set in motion, I aim to enjoy the summer with my nearest and dearest
before leaving for Heidelberg.
Yesterday I
attended Lovebox, a music festival in Victoria Park, London. The festival is a
mash-up of the latest trends in fashion, art and most importantly music that
the capital has to offer. Its slogan – ‘Heart,
soul, rock and roll’ reflects the diverse crowds Lovebox attracts and the
positive vibes that everyone from its artists to ravers enjoys.
My sister
and I went to our third Lovebox this summer and the line-up didn’t disappoint.
The best act was Rudimental who got the crowd jumping in the sunshine and
singing along to their trumpet playing.
There was also
a massive display of electronic dance acts this year which featured Duke Dumont
and Disclosure. Even Azealia Banks who graced the crowd in a lime green
bodysuit and neon pink megaphone had a set inspired by the German electronic
dance scene, most evident in her song ‘Bambi’.
I’m still
waiting to find out if I have been successful in gaining a room in the
university-run student halls. Although there are alternatives, being offered a
room in the student halls is more convenient. Private rents in Germany vary,
starting at a reasonable €200pcm and peaking at an eye-watering €500pcm.
In the
meantime, I’ve joined the University’s Facebook page for incoming international
students. If you’re going on a year abroad, joining the university’s official
Facebook group is an easy way to keep up to date with important developments
and get a fast response to any questions you may have. I’ll keep you posted!
