Instead of just coming straight down sort of forcefully, I let the knob find its way more naturally. It seems if I cheat towards neutral than back down into second that the flow is immensely smoother. Additionally, I wasn't thinking so much about shifting into second (as I was prior excepting to feel resistance each time) allowing for more enjoyable driving. I'm still anxious to drive my friend's 2002 S, and have him drive mine as he is much more familiar with these cars and drives competitively. Thanks again!

Double clutching won't help on the upshift, only on downshifts. Unless there is something wrong with the tranny, the quicker you can upshift, the smoother. Thats why preloading the shifter slightly before you put the clutch in usually gives a very quick, smooth shift.
