What to do now?
I am now flying solo and feel confident doing private pilot maneuvers (steep turns, slow flight, stalls, turns around a point, s-turns, crosswind landings, shorts and softs, VOR nav). I am now waiting for my intsurctor to give me x-country training and night training. What can i do until this time? Do I continue to get better at these maneuvers?

Maybe you could ask him what to do so when he gets back you will be on the same page.
I had the same problem when I was working on ppl. My instructor would say, ok see ya in three weeks. She did this repeatedly and I felt like a red-headed orphan. I would fly my pc, listen to airband scanner, study, get rides with rated pilots, and fly around the pattern. Oh, and watch aviation movies.

Whats a pilot to do?! Yeah thats how it is for me... I continue to study and practice the maneuvers. I'm not complaining as I continue to learn something every time I fly. Patience is the name of the game.
