First thing to say is that this mix is definitely refreshing, a nice mixup of various styles and genres.. It definitely has a summery feel to it too, which is a nice distraction from the greyness that covers Holland at the moment 
Trackwise, the build-up is very good, with a very nice opening track to grab the listener's attention. In my opinion, the opening track's a very important factor of a mix. Good pick on that one!
Technically, the first half of the mix is done very well, I could not really notice any errors until that transition at 33 minutes, which is quite a major beatmatching. After that, mixing gets a bit dodgier, but the last few tracks are mixed very tightly again. Also, as you already mentioned yourself, the end of the track comes in quite suddenly two times One other thing I couldn't help but noticing is that sound levels are not always the same throughout the mix. Differences are not that big, but they sure are noticable.
I like that mix of 'Mad world' you put in (except for the fact that the vocals are sped up, but whatever..), I myself have another mix of it (though he original vocals by Tears for Fears are used in it), being this one: http://www.discogs.com/release/168980. Hadn't heard of this mix before.
As a conclusion, I'd say this mix is pretty impressive, even more regarding the fact you have only been mixing for two months. I'm already looking forward to a new mix of yours.. If it's even better technically and has the same amount of freshness regarding the track selection, I'm sure it'll be great
