Ronnie, coping with "interesting conditions" is part of landing an aircraft. You'll find that no two landings are alike, and often you'll screw up a good approach with a bad landing if you are not paying enough attention to the conditions at any given moment. Has your instructor mentioned the concept of "being ahead of the plane" to you? In essence its the state of mind where you easily anticipate what the aircraft is doing and react accordingly. It's the reason that when your instructor demonstrates an approach and landing the plane behaves like its on rails. With time and practice you'll be able to do it too.

Trust me, I was precisely where you are right now not too long ago.
