Hey man! Looking good! Self portrait looks pretty solid, you should be proud of that : ) In your area do they have any untutored life drawing sessions? The price is usually pretty reasonable and a lot of them you don't need to pay in advance, just whenever you go. Sounds good to do a proper drawing class but I agree that wooden mannequins don't seem that useful considering what else we have nowadays. Maybe that's just the first week, but I agree really you want a live model to practice from, since you already understand about gesture, form, foreshortening and all that. Best of luck man!
