If I understood your post correctly, you've been going through the syllabus, but not flying circuits because of the crosswind. That sounds absolutely fine to me. Try not to get obsessed with going solo. It's normal; we all do it! But as everyone has pointed out, it's dependent on so many things, and in the long run it doesn't matter. If you can, just enjoy your flying and learn, and eventually you'll get the weather and as many hours as YOU need to go solo. Oh, and after that, you may forget how to land and have to learn all over again. That's normal too.

I realise this advice is almost impossible to take - been there, I couldn't do it either - but it still seemed worth saying.
