I handed in my LW assignment two days ago. But as I reviewed my assignment today, I figured out that there was one sentence(it was citing a non-legal secondary source) that I forgot to cite (This sentence and the sentence next to it were citing the same source... i cited the second one but forgot to cite the first one; both sentences were from a source that I had already fully cited earlier in the paragraph).... Technically, it was not even that I forgot to cite, but I mis-used a "." when it should be ":"(so that there should just be one sentence instead of two)

I was planning on transferring but upon discovering the mistake in my LW assignment I totally freaked out. As my prof blind grades, I don't even know if I should let her know/send her a new brief. I am worried about any possible disciplinary actions, but also about whether this would result in a reduction in my grade. What should I do? Would this mistake ruin my prospective of transfer?

Any advice appreciated. And sorry for being confusing... I am freaked out and cannot think straight at the moment.

I really hope this is a joke and have to believe it is. No one, not even law students, are this neurotic.
