I bombed terribly after a doing well in front of a CD the first time.

This one really hurts. Throwaway because this is super embarrassing. I just finished a 2 week intensive with a well-known CD that I was really looking forward to meeting. Week one went amazingly. I did my go-to scene and nailed it, and he didn't even have to...
