And yea, points taken. Once i'm back, I'll fix up the bike and take it slower, hopefully work up the skills to not embarrass myself on a track, and then we'll see. I walked around the turn after I crashed, and it didn't seem that bad. Just a regular turn. I should've had it, but i dunno.
I wish my first crash was a lowside instead of a ride-into-a-mountain. Hours of watching rnickeymouse on youtube doesn't prepare you for the real thing.

You'll be okay
Everyone crashes. I crashed my gsxr at over 100mph (being extremely stupid) and was very fortunate to walk away from it the same day. Paramedics came by, checked me out and said i was okay.. just scrapes. My gears really saved me that day plus I was younger and stupid. But like I said, live and learn. Always go your pace and not others.. don't ever try to keep up with experienced riders.. Also, Its a constant learning experience. I've been only riding 4-5 years and I still learn new things on a daily basis.
