Congratulations on your first solo! I can still remember mine, even though it was during Reagan's first term in office...

Once you go up on your own a few times and practice they will become a piece of cake, but for anyone else reading this with similar issues, what FlyerJosh wrote about getting to know what the proper landing attitude looks like is vital. Another good way to do this is just to sit in the airplane with the tail tie down short enough to lift the nosewheel into the air a few inches. One height-challenged student I had realized when I did this that he just couldn't see over the instrument panel; a good thick cushion on the seat helped enormously!
