I'm in about the same position, spent the first couple of sessions trying to keep it straight, now flaring too high. I'm doing the conversion on tarmac, & have found that the return home to the grass strip is easier / more forgiving. I have been told it will take about 12hrs.
And as for the humbling experience, it certainly is, I feel like a raw student again, concentration high, workload through the roof, thinking about the landing has made my radio calls sound like a moron, being low hrs in the first place prob doesn't help.
