Yeah I a excited to do my first solo. My instructor thinks I will be ready in about 5 more lessons for that! I am so excited but also really nervous about it. My goal is to have my license by next spring so I can spend the summer flying!
I was excited and nervous about my first solo, but as soon as I started down the runway on my first solo flight, it was as if my instructor was sitting next to me scolding me for my little transgressions. I've talked to other pilots and they said they had the same experience. You'll do great as long as you don't practice your stalls on takeoff.
When I soloed, I didn't know about the ritual of cutting a square out of the back of your shirt to commemorate the occasion. Back then, I rode motorcycle and my shirt had a streak of chain oil up the back. As it turned out, it was a great keepsake that reminds me of the solo flight as well as my beloved bike.

I had a hard time with the move-out as well, but within just a couple of days I realized how much better it was when she was gone. I wasn't expecting that. Maybe you'll have the same experience.
