I would add to what FoxMoth is saying but differentiate between aerobatics and this new description " advanced upset handling"

For me aerobatics is more of a direction in aviation for those who want to specialise in aerobatics

Advanced upset handling is just that its more about getting comfortable with an out of shape aircraft so you can quickly identify what is happening and rectify it.
It covers all manner of stalls, steep turns, spiral dives, spins, even stall turns and for your aircraft handling is probably the best investment you can make.

I would also recommend some instrument flying as the above are all things which will add to your experience and confidence flying cross country.

Above all enjoy yourself, fly within your limits and the aircraft limits and know and respect what those limits are
