The 32-hour student pilot reported that during landing to an open field, the airplane struck a slightly raised road and nosed over. The student pilot added that after departure on his solo cross-country, he became overwhelmed with a feeling of being lost, and eventually became sick. The student pilot stated that he needed to land as quickly as possible after realizing he couldn't find one of his checkpoints on the solo cross-country flight.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's improper judgment of the airplanes altitude during landing. A contributing factor was the pilot's level of anxiety/apprehension after becoming lost/disoriented.
