Distinctly remember driving down the M40 after first solo with "Who Let The Dogs Out" playing on the radio, with the volume up full, and me singing along... Then I realised that I'd spent the last 1/4 mile or so using the lines on the road like a centre-line, straddling the line much better than I've ever been able to do in an aeroplane! Quickly moved over to be in just one lane instead of two, and carried on singing.....
Doesn't matter what the temperature is, it's a day to remember!
(But, to answer the question - I have, on occassion, approached a landing with things on my mind. Sometimes I'm wondering if the plane will be back in time for the next renter. Sometimes I feel hungry, thirsty, or need the toilet. But once I'm in the circuit, everything else disappears from my mind, and my brain is focussed 100% on the aircraft and the runway - it's not something I do conciously, there's just too much to worry about to even be able to think about anything else, especially when you don't have too much experience. I'd imagine that if you do your first solo in 40-degree heat, you won't even notice the temperature. Until you park the plane, turn the engine off - and then you'll realise that you're more thirsty than you've ever been in your life, but too happy to care!!!)
