I couldn't land at Twin Oaks (home airport)

At the end of a great solo XC, I hopped over the hill and Twin Oaks had a strong crosswind. Thankfully I was able to beam CFI Sam into the cockpit for a final attempt.

Things were calm at KMMV, landing on 35. Hopped over the hill, windsock was full, I made a couple of attempts, then went over to Hillsboro to land. Sam joined me back to Twin Oaks. I've always (mentally) trained to divert if Twin Oaks was over my abilities but actually DOING it was different. I hadn't fully prepared for it because of the airshow and TFR.
