Well done. As a recently qualified PPL (last month), I remember it all very well. At my home airfield Headcorn we do not have standard overhead joins because of parachuting and we have A/G rather than ATC so flying to other airfields present new challenges. On my QCX I had to fly to Goodwood and did not not know which runway would be in use as they advised in the prior to take-off call that the wind was variable. I carried with me, a home-made drawn circuit pattern for each runway. It worked a treat and I landed on the runway that I least wanted to use! The confidence gained from doing that was incredible. Good luck with the rest of the course.
