Me too 150 hrs.
Join the club. ( I did write a bigger response but the WWW bounced it, and its gone)
A few thoughts. I always say that my next landing will be better than the last. I never aim for perfect, cos that's a silly aim with a tw.
Landings are the fun bit, as you found/will find. Cross wind taxying requires you to engage brain.
Though it seems like learning to ride a bicycle all over again, you will get the hang of it, and I guess within 5 hours.
PS Ever heard of a sideslip approach? It's called bad practise, but I use em half the time. It means I can land instead of floating for ever above finals.
Have fun.xxxxxxxxxx
