Good for you! There will be more opportunities ahead. Keep a PMA....that is sooooo important! Expect to have some "down" moments. Maybe I should say "prepare" for when those down moments attack. Have something in mind to keep yourself busy when that comes. Kind of like saving something special for a rainy day.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
