Got my Master's Thesis results back!

The good news is that I got into the high-distinction band, am accepted into the PhD program and got lots of good feedback.

The meh news is that I wanted more - my goal was to be in the 92%+ range. Didn't make that, but got above the 85% mark.

Think I am being petty though! Just a bit disappointed I didn't reach my personal target.

Still, a first-author paper to come from it is not too bad, so taking the feedback as a nice, informal, first-ever experience of the peer review process of my own research work.

And given I don't come from a science background, and beyond four years ago, I was working in digital comms ... it's probably not too bad.

So, am grateful for the examiner's time and feedback, and I guess I better finalise my PhD topic next!

Of course, it will be on pulsars ...
