Heres the video that I promised. The inside view.

Just being my geeky self, trying to relax a little bit.

No feeling like it in the world.

Heres the first and second landing videos like I promised, I'm not going to upload the one from the cockpit camera until I send it to America's Funniest Home Videos

Way to go, not able to watch Utube at work.  Did someone get video of your instructor?  It's a flight you will never forget, check rides will come and go, but that first landing solo.  Very cool.  I still remember my first solo and even though the instructor was standing on the ramp, I could still hear him talk me through each climb, bank and airspeed change, and his "that's was pretty good,  do it again."
