Congratulations on your accomplishment! I bet the "grin" is even there  
while you are sleeping.


Keep the  stick fully aft and she will descend in a rocking
motion, alternating  stalling and recovering by herself.


Didn't they used to refer to this as a falling leaf descent. Used by  
people that were not IFR rated, or in a non-IFR aircraft, but got stuck on  top

of a thick cloud layer. Prevented spatial disorientation and subsequent loss  
of control until you were below the cloud base and back in VFR?
