Student canopy downsizing?

I am currently a skydiving student working toward my A License. My exit weight is just under 170 pounds and my coaches have had me flying a 220 canopy. I have about 15 jumps so far but was thinking about asking my instructors if I could try one of the 190 rigs. Is switching it up a bad idea this early in the process or is it good to get a feel for a bit higher of a wing loading?

Supplemental Learning

I just completed my first 2 AFF jumps last weekend, and am currently working through the USPA learning material in the SIM and completing the online quizzes.

I was wondering about where I could find quality learning material, supplemental to the SIM. I am hungry to learn more, but I’m still a noob. TIA

Soon to be AFF student here. Question about logging jumps properly.

I looked through the FAQ and did not see this question, so forgive me if it’s in there and I just didn’t see it.

How are you all logging your jumps? I just got a membership with the USPA and they refer to some digital apps, as well as the ability to purchase a printed logbook from Amazon (?). How you all do it, and inputs on how to go about this, or if I even need to worry about it are welcomed. TIA
