Congratulations! Your life will never be the same again!

And if you never commit worse errors than coming in a bit high and/or a tad fast, and know how to deal with it, we'll be blessed with one more good pilot around the skies.

I have been told that on early solo flights the difference in weight in a light plane is quite likely to make the approach and final quite different from one's earlier experiences. So nothing unexpected happened to you, you must have had good tuition.

As for my own experience: I mostly remember being totally baffled, having never expected to be released "so soon". That all went almost flawless left little surprise after that... but the shot of adrenaline was huge.
