Mike - we have all had that feeling, and believe me, it does start to fall into place, and all the things that you have learned so far being rolled into 10 minutes, will soon become natural. You wont even think about your radio calls and checks etc, you will just do them.
Regarding first solos...absolutely my experience too! My problem was...myself. My instructor said "right your ready to go". I said thought I needed more EFATO practice. Next good day that was available he didn't even ask. He just got agreement, jumped out and said "The training will take over, have fun." It really does; the initial worry was soon replaced by earnest concentration followed by a greaser (well that's how I like to remeber it) - Yeah!
