Well done on the solo.

I remember my first solo, hot summers evening in sunny Jersey, perfect for flying. I was bricking it all the way round saying to myself you got yourself into this, now you have to get out of it. As I was coming onto finals, the runway lights blinked on as I was landing into a evening sun. When I landed and was taxiing off the runway I was congratulated by ATC and asked to hold to let a BA737 pass, then the BA captain congratulated my as he was passing and reminisced on his first solo. I could barely say thank you I was so delighted, what a day.
