Props for getting out there and driving, and posting it!
As long as your setup doesn't totally suck, try to focus on the driving more than the car parts (I know it's a hard thing to do, and I mostly failed at it!). It doesn't really matter how your time compares to anyone else's. All that matters is your time keeps getting better as you learn to drive the car. While it's helpful to read books and attend classes and think about all the conscious aspects of driving, I firmly believe at the end of the day the real core skills are sub-conscious, and there's just no better way to build them than to keep building up seat time. Once those are there, the rest is more like high-level strategy and planning.
