Welcome to the PPL learning club. At least you had the gumption to ask for help. When I did something similar I tried to do it on my own and got so disorientated I landed on the wrong runway.
It is one of those learning experiences which are very valuable as long as we do learn from them. As they say, a PPL is a licence to learn about flying. I learned to keep a mental picture of relative bearings to the nearest or home airfield. Another lesson I learned is, in conditions with a low sun and mist, arrange to return to your airfield with the sun behind you if possible. A low Winter sun and slight mist can be quite disorientating even in the circuit.
