Landings are all about confidence! You think firm then thats what you will expect and get!
Its strange but even us old hands have a spate of absolute greasers where you hardly feel the aircraft touch!
Then out of the blue they go! Still good landings but not quite the greasers!
What causes that?
It can be the tiniest hesitation from one landing which did not come up to what you wanted and then the rest do not quite come up to what you want for a while.
Then you come back to a phase of greasers again.
In your case as a Student its quite normal the only difference being that your variations are more pronounced than us more experienced guys.
Its that grain of confidence no more no less.
Relax and enjoy it and you will soon move through that phase to advancing again!
The learning graph is always up but expect dips and plateaus in that increasing graph.
