Re-read your post...it'll show you how much you actually learnt today.
I did most of my circuit flying in windy conditions and got a bit caught out on my GFT when the wind was flat calm and I kept landing nearer the upwind threshold than the landing one!
The weather in the UK sucks and you will get caught out again...at least you've experienced it already...rather than a farce, I think today's lesson was actually quite valuable.
that said, I wasn't brave enough to get the Cub out today!!
