Don't might, do it. As you are no doubt aware by now, things are so alien up there it takes time for things to sink in, and writing them down aids your recall as well as provides an additional debrief. I wrote up my flights from the very first one and I still do it today. There is no right or wrong way to do it, it could be simple bullet points or a rambling stream of consciousness. Another benefit I found is that I always found a point I could clarify with an instructor about at the next lesson.
While some people blog their flight diaries there is no expectation for you to do so, however we at PPRUNE stipulate that you MUST repeat MUST tell us about your first solo.
