Default Emergency?

Has anyone here besides me had an emergency?

I had an emergency landing, after the engine shut down during a solo X-Country before i had my private ticket. The mixture cable broke, the carb went to full lean. The engine shut down, i did my checklists, declared an emergency, and landed in a field next to a quarry, next to a silo, over a ditch, and under power lines. Once on the ground, i called my instructor, and talked to the FAA. A mechanic came out that day and replaced the Mixture Cable. Once it was fixed, my instructor flew the plane back to K-_T.
