You got this. When things are out of your control there is no 'should'. Being motivated is good but there's no reason for shame - it's finished when it's finished.
PhDs are just bastards.

We present the first evidence of a direct correlation between leadership and flap frequency in homing pigeon flocks, with it being stronger than any other effect that we modelled.
This suggests that being a leader in a complex flock is energetically advantageous over being a follower.
