I appreciate all the input from everyone. I passed the checkride! Woohoo. Honestly, I'm not as relieved from the stress leading up to the checkride as I thought I would be... I guess just knowing the mountain I still have to climb (Instrument, Comm, CFI)

My steep turns were very good. Stayed on altitude, maintained 45 bank, hit wake turbulence on roll out. They were probably the best steep turns I have ever done actually.

Landings were okayyy... The winds were from the North (normally from the south). So I am not as familiar landing on Runway 35. The approach is pretty different as Runway 35 has a very large displaced threshold. I tried to lock in on the papi. My approaches were stabilized but not as good as what I have been doing. I feel there were things I did not do as well as I normally do so I was disappointed in myself for that, but regardless I have my private pilot certificate now and can start working on my instrument.
