Default switched schools

After about a month of not flying due to a problem in the school, I decided to make the switch. It was hard because I have 25 hrs and I am just beginning to get the hang of it. It was also hard to say goodbye to my flight instructor. I didn't realize this until I had to make the decision. I mean, this is the guy who taught me how to fly, stall, recover, land etc. I really looked up to this person, I thought of him as extraordinary because of his skills, and most of all, he seemed very calm and routine about what might seem like !#@$#@%@#$% for some people. I hated to do it, but from my perspective I couldn't wait any longer...
On the other hand, I won't be paying $135 an hour for the $172, now I will be paying $94. This means, I could fly more often. I truly hope this would be an easy transition. I wonder how I will do after not flying for a month...A rough start, but I hope things go smoothly from this point.
