got a guitar for christmas - a few questioins

hey,
i just got a guitar for christmas (it's an acoustic- some brand called takamine or sumthing like that)
yesterday and today i've been practicing all of my open chords (C, E, A, D, G, F, Em, Dm, Am) and I've pretty much memorized where I have to put my fingers and all these. Yesterday it was kind of awkward when i would switch from one chord to another, it would take me probably 10 seconds to get my fingers coordinated and pressing down in all the right places... but today it seems like it is alot easier, especially the transition from C to E or Em.
Ok, my question is if it sounds so far so good, like if I'm doing the right stuff I need to when starting out.
Also, after I have mastered or atleast gottend really good at all the transitions for all the open chords, what should I do next?
oh and is there any songs or recognizable tunes I can play with the basic 9 open chords?
Thanks,
~Brad
