Any tips for me?

Get used to it? ;-)

Seriously, landing is like having a problem with Windows XP -- you can do
the exact same thing ten times in a row, and get ten different results. It
makes trouble-shooting difficult, to say the least, but it does get better
over time. Eventually you get more consistent, and have more greasers.

Try to keep your eyes focused on the far end of the runway as you round out
your flare, and don't get discouraged. In 9 years, almost 900 hours, and
over 1400 landings, I can count the number of truly "perfect" landings on
one hand. All the rest have been "salvaged" -- although (so far) I've
always been able to use the plane again!
