Learning to fly, it's hard!

[18greens]

Of course its hard, otherwise we would not all be so proud to be noble knights of the sky. People who don't fly do not understand what it means to be able to say 'I am a pilot'.
The great thing is the opportunities for learning never ever stop. Aeros, Instruments, Night, Nav competitions and the eternal what will the weather do next connundrum. If you really want to start learning become an instructor.
From what you said in your post you seem to have a good grip on what is happenning, you will do well.
