Had a needle inserted into my ear earlier. Piercing number 5 is done. And yes, this was taken at Manchester Piccadilly while waiting for my train to Congleton. And yes, that’s some dried blood around the jewellery. No big deal.

Also bumped into a good friend of mine when getting off the train at Congleton, and it was a really lovely chance to have a bit of a catch-up with her.

Saw Dear Evan Hansen last night, and it was absolutely brilliant once again. Think it marked the first time I've ever cried while watching a theatre production, and I don't even care. 💙

Also ended up doing something else solo for the first time this morning - a hotel breakfast. Loaded up because it had already been paid for. Did my normal three-course breakfast - cooked plate first, then bread & pastries (also cheese, because cheese at breakfast is amazing), then yogurt. Only downsides of the hotel breakfast were no hash browns or potato-based item for breakfast, and the yogurt options were slightly lacking. On a positive note, they had a very nice cheese & onion sourdough loaf that went really well with some Cheddar cheese.
 
While Mock exams should feel terrible, I don’t feel completely negative about them. My brain and arms ache, but my soul is very satisfied.

Very weird.

Also, one of my favourite games has a graphical update, so I gave it a replay and I’ve gotten hooked again… blowing up demons and robots it’s great fun. Indeed, such visual chaos; I don’t think I’m entirely sure what’s going on half the time either.
 
I got the first semester exam results from my MSc back today… and there were some very pleasant surprises! I got 88% in my Operational Research exam, which was definitely higher than expected even though I was cautiously optimistic about it afterwards, but the biggest surprise of all was a mark of 86% in my Statistics exam… I was genuinely convinced I might have failed after I exited the exam hall for that one, so a mark of 86% shouldn’t have been possible under my post-exam mental arithmetic!

I’ve booked to see my exam scripts, as I’m genuinely curious to see how on Earth I managed 86% in Statistics in particular… there’s a small part of me that thinks it must be a clerical error, or my lecturer taking pity on me.

Nonetheless, the results were certainly a pleasant surprise, and a lot better than I was expecting, particularly given that I hadn’t done formal exams before these since my GCSEs nearly 6 years ago!
