Thank you so much for the help!!
If you have been listening to larger airports, you should stop and listen at some of the smaller airports. It is almost like some of the larger airports have their own language and cadence, which as a beginner you are not ready for and it will be intimidating. The scanner mentioned in an earlier post of even some time spent in the aircraft out on the ramp listening to LOCAL control will probably do you more good in building your confidence.
My own experience was 180 out from yours. I learned to fly in a fairly busy Class C airspace and I was worried the first time I went to an UNcontrolled field for my first solo x/c. I kept asking who was going to be directing me around and the old guys were just laughing at me and telling me to enjoy the freedom!
