And welcome to the club ;-)
If you ever get discouraged at ANY point during your training, just remember that every human being who has ever lived on this planet has wanted to fly. And this has been true since the first time a man saw a bird in flight. Very few people ever get to do that, and you've already done it.
Have fun!
