Well, I did my second solo xc today. I went from 3A1 (Cullman, AL) to RMG
(Rome, GA), then to CHA (Chattanooga, TN), and back to 3A1.

Thinking back over the day, I really feel good about this xc, even with the
difficulties that existed. I think these type of events will make me a
better pilot

That is the usual case. Most all experience will make you better, if you
allow yourself to learn from it.

You got a lot of good responses to your posting. I hope you will take the
things that were said and discuss them with your instructor - don't sweep
them under the rug. If you think now that you may have done one or more
things wrong, the best thing you can do is learn from it.

The most important thing is don't let the responses you got to your posting
scare you away from these groups. All students (and pilots) make mistakes, and
these groups are a great place to hear various points of view from many, many
excellent folks, most of whom have been there and done that ;-)

Congratulations on the successful cross country!
