Just keep driving and eventually you will figure it out . Dont rush so fast . It takes alot of seat time in a manual car to make it shift just right . For now I would suggest just cruising until you really have it down . It took me almost a year before I really understood how to work the gears .

Practice, practice, practice! Seat time is the best way to learn.

seat time and playing around.

practice is good.. however, trying to shift fast with a stock shifter is nonsense

get a hold of a pro 5.0 shifter and you will not be sorry, and you'll be shifting like a pro in seconds - you just can't miss 2nd to 3rd with it, its amazing!
