The others have it pretty much covered but I think you should do your own basic suspension setup. There's a good guide to follow on http://www.ohlins.com/.
If you have the Öhilns shocks you might want to get softer springs to get the sag right, it's not a very expensive mod and will probably benefit you both on track and street as you are so lightweight.

I like the PP2CTs and use them myself in cold or wet conditions. However I think they need at least 32/35psi as they have a very soft carcass and are made to work well in low temperatures. (They tend to overheat rather than cold tear)

Relax, have fun, try to be smooth rather than fast and ride well within your limits.

Remember: No one cares if you're slow, they're all busy with their own riding. THE WORLD ISN'T WATCHING!

edit: As you've got plenty of time you might want to prep yourself by studying a little bit, after all the rider is at least 80% of the package. I'd reccomend "Twist of the wrist 2" as a starting point.
