Hang in there Murphy's Law was written for all types of creative work and technology. It's so simple to ruin a project through no fault, or by a moment of carelessness. Avoid despair. Just do it over or make the needed changes. There's no penalty to your grade so long as you prearrange a deadline extension (no extensions past the end of the term). Grieve but avoid despair; it happens to your teacher and everyone else too. Mistakes are great teachers when we are open to learn and improve from them 

ENJOY AND LEARN!
