Default Cool

Not to rain on your parade, because I remember how cool my first takeoff and landing was (about a year ago).

But,

Soon, you'll try the same stuff with the instructor sitting under the shed and you out their by you lonesome.

Its just as nerve-wracking to be standing out there the first time on your own. Then you'll have to tell yourself when to turn and when to cut power.

I was fortunate that on my first solo solo I had the field to myself. I shot 9 minutes of approaches, each of which wasn't quite "right", before I finally landed.

So, congrats and get ready for that next step.
