When I was in your shoes I got so I could fly in the wind pretty well. On gusty days, I would take off and land between gusts. When you are in the air, the wind is not much of a problem. Taking off is also not so bad as long as it is not a cross wind. So, I would take off and fly around a while and then when I detected a lull in the wind, I would quickyl land and refuel. I only got stuck once where I had to have a more experienced pilot land for me. If there is someone at the field that can back you up if you need help on the landing, that is alway helpful.
