Couple milestones for me this week:
1) I started building my first ever kit, a SIG LT-40. So far it took me several days to build the left wing, but I am confident it is built right and will be strong and straight. I am following this thread for the build:

2) Today was my second session on the buddy box with my Kadet Senior Sport. Man the more I fly that thing the better I like it. I am still just flying the pattern, but today I also did one takeoff (not very pretty but I didn't crash), and one landing. For the landing, my instructor lined me up on the runway then flipped it over to me. I managed to do a pretty good landing, no bounce, no crash, center of the runway. I did manage to use all of the runway though because I wasn't getting the nose up enough to bleed off the speed, but still, I was pleased. More to come!
