Fly to Chilliwack by solo

I've just come back from my first solo cross country flight to Chilliwack. Although it was late August, it was so hot around Vancouver today, and the height of 2,500 feet was not enough to cool down my heated body. I sweated a lot and my towel was soaked. Chilliwack airport is not a controlled airport, that is there is no tower and each pilot has to fly calling each other. There were several traffic in the zone today, and I was very nervous because I had to call in each leg of the circuit like, "Chilliwack traffic, this is FIBX over the city at 1,800 feet, inbound for touch and go, runway 25", "FIBX cross the midway", "FIBX downwind for touch and go, runway 25", and "FIBX short final to runway 25". On my short final to the runway, I was so busy for the radio call and I approached too high to the runway, therefore I had to do overshoot and go around the circuit again. I wanted to land on Chilliwack for a pie but I couldn't because I had enough time to do so. I hope to land there next time to enjoy a coffee break at the famous cafe in the Chilliwack airport.
