Difficult to describe but the "ground rush" when the airfield suddenly seems to up to your ears & no longer below you, then you round out/flare, looking at the far end, then try not to land by keep moving the stick/yoke back.
Sit in it on the apron & get someone to pull the tail down/nose wheel off the ground 6" (152mm) & try to remember that "picture".
Pontificating about "How to land an aeroplane" is great when you are sitting at a keyboard. You should see some of my "landings" you would laugh like a drain. I usually apologise to my passenger that I have done better. However the a/c is still useable after.
As has been said it will click one day & you will wonder what all the fuss was about.
Meantime have fun & enjoy it.
