What's up or down?

It's been a while since I've last posted. I've been very very busy with freelancing, mainly. 'Been trying to get my life together too, organize things. I've spent a good two months searching for a job with a company, no luck there. I finally ended jumping into the world of freelance since contracts where coming to me. Last tuesday I finally completed my second contract. It went terribly bad for me. I realized I was more rusted in HTML/CSS/JavaScript than I had hoped. It caused a lot of delays and deadlines pushed back. I really hate myself for it. But then again, it's my first real stance in the working world, so I kinda forgive myself. Do my clients forgive? Who knows.
