Spins are nothing to be afraid of. I think it is unfortunate they no longer do them in the PPL. I didnt do my first spin until 100 hours and i did it in a Citabria with a good tailwheel instructor, i now try to spin at least once out of ever 3 or so tailwheel hours. You never know when a spin will hit you and the first few will probably scare the hell out of you for the first few turns but after a while it is just a manuever like anything else and you will have the confidence to get out of it, and actually enjoy them.
CWU- bummer on the checkride but it has happened to thousands before and will happen to thousands after, it is a good learning experience and hopefully the DPE turned it into a lesson for you.
