Don, I had exactly the same thought just after taking off but had completley fogotten about it until now. Thanks.
The fear is natural as you're about to put yourself in a situation where your life is in your hands and yours only. Once you're rolling down the runway, it disappears completley.
Thumpango, the memory that'll stick in your mind most from the first solo is that in about six minutes you will look to your right and stare at the empty seat next to you at least 20 or 30 times in disbelief. Enjoy it.
