I had similar fun doing it in an L 4 Cub. It was odd to be back at that pre-solo phase where everything fell apart once I got into the flare. Once I got the hang of it I couldn't stop grinning. I wish I had learned to fly in a Cub.
As Kabz says, cheer up TM, go and learn to fly in whatever you want to.
ps: kabz, presumably a citabria is more fun to fly (ignoring the landing bit for the moment) because it was not designed simply for efficient A to B straight and level, which is presumably what Cessna had in mind with the C150 etc. My point is that (although I prefer tailwheels)it's not just the wheel arrangement that makes for a more interesting ride. Its a pity that things like Fireflies and Pups are too expensive for most flying clubs to run as basic trainers.
