Unhappy Scared of my brand new 2007 M50

Yes its true, I recently bought a brand new m50 and am now finding that since I am outside the safe confines of the "safety course" I am all of a sudden VERY unsure of myself and making mistakes when riding. I took my new bike out the first night and had the bike almost dropped at one point when I got a little confused at my next move. I will tell you this there was NO WAY I was going to completely drop my new bike, I willed the thing upright when it was about an inch or two off the ground. I guess I need some reassurance here. I still stall the bike, am unsure when to shift and how the bike will react, and unsure of the whole stopping on a hill scenerio.

You guys got any pointers or stories on when you first started riding and how you overcame any problems you had. I want to enjoy this bike and not fear it.
