Welcome to the fun!

Yep, everything's situational: with this car, I want to approach that light by cresting this small rise at this many mph. And then traffic, weather and lighting conditions screw everything up for you.

It'll be a whole different world once you get instrumentation. The only change I'd recommend is skipping the "clutch in" and simply using neutral as another gear. You'll be better able to focus on actual driving when your foot position isn't so critical.
