Default Passed Private Checkride !

Hey everyone yesterday I passed my private checkride. A very long day let me tell you.
The oral was about 2 hours. Mainly because of a misunderstanding with the examiner and the mechanic. Not my fault but should of caught it. The rest of the oral was going good. The examiner got me on a systems question which I knew, but I didn't really have a full understanding about, or my answer didn't have as much detail as he would of liked. other than that, went good.
The flying portion went pretty good. Nailed all my maneuvers, one of my landings could of been a little bit better, but it was exceptable.
Got some debriefing on what I should improve on, overall passed.
One of the happiest days of my life. I'm very proud of myself and ready for the next challenge , IFR BABY!!!
Thanks to everyone who helped me out along the way with my training. Everything from e6b questions, to checkride prep. I really appreciate all the help I got from this site and will be more than happy to help out anyone else along the way. " Paying it Forward" is what it's all about.
Thanks folks and safe flying
