Convince me to stick with it . . .

Sounds kinda dorky, because nothing can take the place of real flying
experience, but put some time in on your home simulator. MSFS or
X-Plane, whatever. Flying a good square pattern in flight simulator is
harder than it is in a real airplane because of the reduced visual
cues. What it will do is help you practice your sequence...abeam
numbers, throttle back, flaps 10 degrees, base at 45 degrees to the
threshold, etc. Getting this sequence down while managing airspeed and
altitude can be tough, but rarely is a good landing made without a good
setup. An instructor once told me "you can't make ice cream out of
horse****."

Flight simulator is actually good for practicing pitch/power settings
for your final too. Give it a few hours and when you get in the air
again it will be a lot easier.
