Well done,
Those notes would most definitely have helped me last year when i took my test, as it is so hard not to get anxious, but as you said, its all about the groud preparation. Fortunately i passed and was happy with my performance.
I'm also interested with what people say what to do next, because i have lots of ideas, like aeros, IMC, night etc. but being a student i cant afford it just yet. I find myself merely flying enough just to keep in check with my flying club. Nevertheless, everytime i go and prepare the plane for flight, i get excited, even if just circuits. its sad but true, i just think of it all as learning.
A freind of mine is also learning, so this summer we plan to fly together and share the cost, at least this way i can get further a field without the whole cost. i can't wait.
Have fun
