Just wanted to offer some encouragement. I flew for a little bit in high school, but never really learned. I took about 17 years off and just started again this year. I was nervous as heck at first, but with each flight you get a little more comfortable. Eventually you are relaxed enough that you are ready to solo. I still liked to have someone standing next to me for support the first few times. After a while, it becomes almost second nature. Then you get a new, slightly more challenging plane and the jitters start all over. Don't worry, you'll do fine. A buddy cord is a huge help, however.
