Default Getting confused with ATC order...Violation?

"RW" == RubberWatch writes:

RW Hello- I am a student pilot. I was out flying solo today and
RW was instructed by ATC to fly a heading of 210. I thought he
RW said 110 and I flew on that heading. He then told me it looks
RW like your going the wrong direction i need you to fly 210. I
RW got a bit locked up and said 210. I ended up on 210 but I
RW really kinda got "mike fright".

RW Anyway, I just wanted to know if this would constitute a
RW violation

No, don't worry about it.

RW and if I might receive something in the mail, etc?
No.
RW He later told me to "resume own navigaion" and I did not know
RW what that meant...I asked him if I could do my airwork and he
RW said resume on navigation meant I can do anything I want.

Have your instructor explain some of the common phrases used by ATC.
This is very common and is usually used when you are flying towards a
destination that you've told ATC about; they vector you a bit to avoid
traffic; then tell you "resume own navigation" which means return to
flying towards your destination.

RW He did not ask me to call a land line or anything like that,
RW though when I requested to change to my CTAF as I had the
RW airport in site, he said frequency change approved and squalk
RW VFR when I am on the ground.

I am pretty sure he said and meant "frequency change approved, squawk
VFR" when means change to whatever frequency you want (destination
airport CTAF, AWOS or ATIS) and change your squawk code from what you
were assigned to 1200. Don't wait 'till your on the ground to do this.
