Default I'm confused

I've been in this hobby for all of 4 months now and and a bit confused. I started with an airmadillo trainer and flew it until I got bored with it. I ordered the shorter aerobatic wing and flew it for a while longer. My second (and current) plane is a Tower Fun51. I've been flying it for a month now and and having lots of fun. I can loop, spin, flat spin, inverted flat spin, inverted low passes over the field, and throw the sticks around in any number of ways and survive.

I'm getting to the point where I really don't know what to work on. I go up and do the same stuff then land. Today I was reluctant to take it back up again because I didn't want to do a repeat of my last flight, and the one before that. I've got to be boring the heck out of those watching me fly.

I see some of the more experienced guys at the field who are perfectly content doing touch & go's combined with an occasional loop, roll, or spin.

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this is boring by any stretch of the imagination, but I feel like I'm in a rut and need a change of pace. Should I start studying aerobatics and working on precision pattern type manuevers? I like the looks of 3d flying, low speed manevers, spins, hovering, tail stands etc...

I'm flying an average of 3 times a week and making 5 ten minute flights per session. I'm guessing I have around 200 flights to date. Perhaps I need to ease off a bit and see this more as a journey than a destination. Anyone else found themselves in this boat before?
