For your first track day you really shouldn't be that concerned about laptimes or which cars you pass. It's about getting comfortable with your car at speed and getting to know the track day process. It does sound like you made some progress and just getting out there once is huge so that's great! Keep going and make sure your car is properly maintained (brakes, oil cooler, tires, etc). Set yourself up with some in-car video and maybe a datalogger so you can start doing some post-trackday analysis. You're doing great so far.

Ya, I did have William run with me on one of the sessions, He was was the one who let me know about the shifting, and also to focus on touching the "blue spot" on the turn apex. I focused on braking and downshifting before turns, and trying to ensure I stayed on the line. I was not uber worried on track times, though I did want to keep up with cars that I knew had instructors in them as they were running the line.
A in car video recorder is definitely high on the list.
