Same here, I bought my 2000 Integra LS in April...and learned on it. Most of my friend's have M/T cars...but they didn't want to teach me on their cars...bastards. So, I bought the car, learned on it, and now I'm in month 2 of knowing how to drive a Stick. It only took like 1 week until I could take off without giving myself whiplash. But like Konali said, find the friction/engagement point and you'll be just fine. Plus, if you're getting a Honda, it's hard to mess it up, they're built to last.
