First, Congratulations on your accomplishments so far.
I'm sure that with a bit of work you'll do well next time.

First of all I have not posted/asked any questions of RAP and RAS since
last
November. With all of the bickering, baiting, and other issues, I decided
not to participate. Please don't misinterpret what I am saying. I am not
pointing fingers or complaining about anyone in particular since several
members of this group have been involved in degrading the groups. These
are
just my opinions. So much for that.....
You've lurked long enough to probably have a good idea as to who can
be believed about what. You just have to sort through the chaf at
times.
I had my checkride yesterday and it went rather well. I was not
successful
in getting my ticket since I busted the forward slip to a landing and soft
field landing. Everything else was ok. I plan to practice and complete
the
requirements for the slip and soft field landing this week, thereby
acquiring my ticket. My main problem with the slip was not maintaining
the
centerline during the actual slip. I will not make any excuses (the wind,
nervousness, etc.). When it's all said and done, it was on me to be
successful.
Being able to accept what went wrong is a good point in itself. Few
are able to do that.
Hang in there,
