when I got to the U I said "down and welded".

Actually there is a check that should be performed in the pattern (other
than going outside and making sure the welds will hold) and that is to
ensure that the parking brake is not set. I can't think of why it might
end up set while you're crusing at six thousand feet, but a stuck brake
upon landing will add excitement to your day. It also gets you in the
habit of doing -something- besides entertaining your CFI.
