I messed up and stressing out

I am in graduate school. I thought that my term paper was due this coming Thursday. I go to check my email and see an email from my professor from this past Thursday requesting we submit our papers by midnight that night. I go into a full on panic. I search through the syllabus and email history to confirm the due date that I had thought and everything shows a due date of April 23 except on one place where is says April 30. This must be where I got it from. I emailed him letting him know my misunderstanding but I'm freaking out. I'm hoping to have the paper done by midnight tonight but now with the stress of knowing it's late I'm having difficulty focusing and I feel sick to my stomach. I almost didn't tell my husband because I feel so crappy about it, but I did. He's a teacher so he gave me his perspective/thoughts which helped. I don't know if I'll hear back from the professor because it's Saturday. I just don't know how I could have made this mistake. Did anyone else? I feel sick.

I’ve made similar mistakes so many times. Professors are usually very understanding with that stuff. I think you’ll be fine.

I was used to be the same with papers.

If it was an error last weekend, it is Monday today so you may have now heard any problems that arrived Because of this.

How did you do
