Thanks for your posts everyone. To answer 500Man, The airfield isn't quite a farm strip but it's a single runway, non-controlled affair. We've done stalls, spins, etc. but no other emergency procedures (i.e. no engine failure or simulated forced landings, etc). The vast majority of my hours have been in the circuits, as the training area is not that far away. I wish that were the reason for the ridiculous number of hours, but it isn't...
Oh yeah, when I changed schools they taught some new things but I don't feel like I'm learning anything new anymore...just circuits, circuits, and more circuits...
