Nice. Congratulations! I am still in the pounding-endlessly-around-
the-pattern stage, but I think I'm getting close to having a feel for
it. I am looking forward to getting past the landing plateau. Now if
the frakking Minnesota winter weather would just cooperate...

I feel your pain. Nothing but rain for the last
two weeks. I've been signed off to take my practical
test for over a month but either because of examiner
time issues, my time issues or weather I can't get
it done.

And I'll be out of town for the next two weekends.

You may want to consider having an instructor take you through a mock
oral examination, just to help yourself stay sharp. It's amazing how
quickly you can forget new stuff when not using it for even just a few
days.

I start twitching every time I hear a light plane
fly overhead.

Hmmm, that happens to me too, and I had my PP-ASEL practical in 2004 ;-)
