 I messed up.

Well I don't know where to begin. This might sound so silly and trivial but it's hurting me.
We had this group project in college where we were supposed to make a movie.
We finished shooting one and a half days before the day of the submission. Now,I had got downloads required for the movie on my computer so I insisted that I get a chance to edit the movie so that I could put in the audio and video i'd managed to get.
Which was stupidity on my part.
I stayed up all night yesterday trying to complete the editing which took a GREAT DEAL of time.On top of that,our movie was not up to the required time-limit,so I had to shoot a music video in a real hurry,to try and reach the time limit.

At two in the morning,I got done with editing and had a look at the movie once I was done saving it on my computer. I got badly shaken up when I saw that the output had got messed up at various places even though I'd checked while editing.
Feeling utterly helpless and realizing that it was way past two, I started burning a CD of the movie.The computer told me that it couldn't transfer the file to the CD.
Needless to say,I was a nervous wreck at this point.
I got help from my Dad and we figured out a way and burned two CDs.
By the time we were done, I realized it was time for me to get ready for college. 
I reached class and the movies were being screened one at a time.
When the movie we'd worked on started playing and the music video came up,the professor mouthed,"What's this?"
Perfect.
The video was shot in a hurry so the locations were haphazard,yes.
I managed to let my group folks down.The technical difficulties and  the video...Sigh.
Being the stupid emotional fool I am,I cried at the station.
It hurt,man.
This probably sounds childish and stupid. I guess I ought to stop now.
It's just that when you put in a lot of effort into something and it doesn't come out the way you want,it gets to you.

I do know this kind of a situation... You try so hard, you do your best, you put a lot of effort into something... And then it gets so messed up...
Last year I was doing a big project for one of my father's clients. For a certain amount of money. We spent more than a week working on that project and when all that left was to finish it, it appeared that the project has an error due to my fault... I had to apologize to the client, but we had deadlines... So I spent days and nights fixing my mistakes... It was a horrible time for me... I thought he wouldn't pay me anything, I was afraid he would get mad at me... But it worked out ;) I fixed everything, got my money and he is still my client :)

What I want to say is don't lose your heart! Shit happens ;)
It'll work out.

Well, that was a blunder! In life we have blunders. Oopss, did I say that. You felt like you let the group down? The group probably felt real disappoint! You being the kind thoughtful person you are; put in effort along with the group, as well as working off time.

Got to figure in the percentage for pops.

To come up with a finish project, So how was pops in the video? Didn't know he was getting graded for the additional time. But, by the judge of it he had done beautifully to have a daughter in college. Well, got go. We can work on time management later. We don't have time for sadness, but we always have time for you.

you've done your best and you've put all your heart in it!!no matter how is the result,it is not your fault!!!you have no regret,right?you've done all that you could,that's enough.sometimes it is really unnecessary to care about others' opinion,people often think from their own perspective,you've dont nothing wrong,that's enough then!!
cheer up,honey.

you do what you can. :) i know how you feel, and so does everyone else on the planet. you try so hard at something, pour your time and energy into it, and then everyting goes to hell in a hend basket. it really sucks when stuff like this happens but you just have to push through, remembering that this too shall pass.
