I think you forgot one thing: The checklist! 👌🏽

Definitely do your ground work the day of the solo flight. . i.e get an idea of wind conditions (especially), traffic patterns and different cues as to the airport environment.
E.g, 2 or 4 light PAPI? Landmarks at different points in the pattern for reference? Left or right pattern? Etc.
Don’t do anything ‘new’. Do it as you’ve always done it the last 50 times.
and for sure..use your checklist 😊.
The airplane will fly great without your 200lb instructor.
