I understand what you mean, but I have learned more by listening to people with much more experience. When I first started flying (after my trainer cut me loose) I found myself repeating the same things, good and bad. Now a good friend of mine, Ed used to watch my approaches and "offer suggestions" on a better way to do it. "Why the @%#$ are you coming in that hot?" comes to mind. Learning to fly alone comes with much less pressure but you might be "grooving in" some bad habits. I know I was. Happy flying.
