I remember some disbelief after the wheels leaving the ground, and lots of talking to myself. I couldn't believe I was actually doing it.

Nailed a really nice landing, and two words came over the radio "nice landing" and that was it !

However,

After being told I had passed my test I was completely emotionally numb, I have never experienced anything else like it, ever. It's indescribable. I was like a zombie until half way into a 40 minute drive home and then it hit me. I was suddenly crying uncontrollable and laughing at the same time. Talking to myself saying "this is ridiculous", laughing out loud with tears rolling down my face. It took me about 5 minutes to return back to normal.
