Congrats! Don't feel bad, I botched the soft field landing on my CPL ASEL checkride too. "Your soft field landing could have been softer," the DE wrote in my evaluation. Good luck on your CFI. Looks like you've already gotten a lot of the paperwork (lesson plans, etc) out of the way; that's really the hardest part. Took me about 35 landings to make a smooth soft field and a Commercial PTS short field from the right seat in the 182RG, but then again, I'm a slow learner. For me, the biggest hurdle in landing from the right seat was keeping the longitudinal axis aligned with the airplane's direction of flight during touchdown with a crosswind, but that's a whole 'nother thread.....
