Does this seem like typical first year experience?

About to be done with my first year. I've done about 400 hours of EMT, about 400 hours of core drilling, maybe 200 hours of layout for conduit racks, a couple hundred hours of just sorting material and cleaning up trash. I feel like I'm falling behind but so far I've only been sent to jobs where there really isn't much work going on for various reasons. I've never been part of a wire pull, I've never been with a journeyman making any terminations, I've never seen any rigid or gotten any underground experience.
