I didn’t like the setup on my landing approach to 33 at Detroit City Airport and executed a go around. (First solo landing attempt.)

I don’t recall the specific conversation, but as I turned downwind the controller asked a question that I answered with a prompt, “Negative.”. He quickly followed up with another question that the answer to was the exact opposite of ‘Negative’. Naturally I responded with, “Positive.”!

Perhaps I was a bit nervous.
