However, I'm already worried I screwed up my clutch. accidentally launched it at 5k RPM on a hill start, even though I tried my best not to, and smelled clutch all the way home  Any pointers on where I can ask in more detail? I looked up every clutch + smell related thread I could find on here and still am not sure...thanks for all the good info and help here.

Congrats and welcome to the party.
How far was to home? Probably just in your head. If it's not slipping when you accelerate, it's fine. I've done that plenty of times and my clutch is still going strong.
Next time dump the clutch and burn through that rubber instead.

. JK, I'm a bad influence, don't listen to that.
