I wouldn't put yourself down. The timing depends on all sorts of things - the weather, how your instructor does things etc. I went solo at 16 hours but it was 3 months before I went on my second!
It was on my first cross country solo when I first realised the fabulous freedom one has as a pilot. I thought I was at my turning point but then realised that it was a different town. But no matter, I can have a good look at it and then breeze over to find the correct one!
