Default Getting confused with ATC order...Violation?

Hello-

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


A couple of questions first...

Did you announce you were a student pilot?
Which ATC were you talking to? (A tower? Class B?)
