Went Solo Today
Just wanted to share my solo that I went on today. 
Went over some presolo stuff on the ground with no firm solo date. After some practice landings my instructor jumped out and stood on the taxiway while I took off. I thought they were supposed to have a radio to talk me down.
12.8 hrs before... 13.8 hours after. 2 touch and go's and 1 full stop. It seemed like I was up there for more than an hour.
Also passed my written 2 weeks ago with a 90%.
Flying out of KVDF in Tampa.

I disagree! The most fun I had was on my long cross country, getting out of the plane over 100 miles away and looking around enjoying the day from somewhere new and knowing that I had used all the skills that I learned to get me there.
