Cate: Your first flight was a success. You got up, you got down, and you want to go again. That's success. I don't think any pilot likes turbulance, but it is something you have to deal with all the time. Just because the flight starts out in calm air doesn't mean it will end in calm air. In fact it rarely does. As you get more flights in, you will become more tolerant of rough air. The big worry that most new students have in turbulance is that they will lose control or the plane will come apart. Except in really sever turbulance (which you shouldn't be flying in anyway) these things won't happen. Think of turbulance like a rough road in your car. If it is real rough you just slow down a little. Same is true in an airplane. Your instructor can tell you all about this. Good luck.
