This flight was the student pilot?s initial solo cross-country. He had received the required training and endorsements for the flight. The student received most of his flight training at an uncontrolled field and stated that he felt comfortable talking to ATC and that it did not cause extra stress. Upon arrival into owb, ATC had the pilot fly a straight in approach to runway 6 and report a three mile final. It was reported that the student and instructor discussed the possibility of a straight in approach, but had never actually practiced straight in approaches in the aircraft. The student reported that he began to configure for landing at approximately a four to five mile final. At a three mile final, the pilot called ATC and was cleared for the option. The pilot stated that his intent was to perform two touch and go?s followed by a full stop taxi back. On final, the pilot recalled being a little slow and a little high, using the VASI as reference, but felt the landing would still be safe. Upon touchdown, the pilot recalled the nose wheel touching first and the aircraft porpoised. The pilot reported adding back pressure as a response. It was reported that the aircraft skidded and the pilot overcompensated by applying too much rudder, causing the runway excursion.
