Wow, you don't suck! It's so refreshing to see a self-proclaimed noob here that actually has a bit of creativity and sense.
As for a critique, the first one is definitely the best. Personally I would have gone with a little smaller aperture and/or focused at the hyperfocal distance to get the gauges in focus as well, but it's good nonetheless.
Second would be great except for focus.
Third doesn't do much for me, needs a stronger focal point or better leading lines if the guy at frame center is the focus.
Fourth again good except for focus.
Fifth is decent except for focus. The subject matter doesn't do much for me but it's a decent photo.
Overall advice, ditch the T400CN. I personally think it's the worst black and white film you can get. The blacks are muddy and it lacks dynamic range. I'd highly suggest the Kodak T-Max or Ilford Delta ranges, Delta 100 is my favorite black and white film (other than TechPan, which is discontinued). Processing it at home is very, very easy and cheap. The Yashica is a great camera and I think you'll learn a lot by using it. I'm a rangefinder fan myself.
