Landings however... I don't remember how long it actually took, but I
swore I was never going to feel comfortable with them!

I'm approaching 400 hours and I think I *almost* have it figured out...

Again, this was scary as hell.

Tell your instructor you were scared, and that you don't want to fly
in scary situations, or at least not just yet.

There is no reason at all that you should be learning to cope with
crosswinds at this stage. (Or landing, for that matter, if you don't
feel comfortable landing the aircraft. I hate to tell you how many
hours I had before I landed the Cub, never mind soloed it. I just
couldn't wait to get the instructor out of there, or get him to fold
his arms, in the former case.)
