I'm one semester away from finishing my photography degree, and I still sometimes have trouble loading the reel. I think it's a tie between loading the film on the reel and getting the developer at exactly 20 degrees. I still ocassionally drop a roll on the floor or try to put the film backwards in the plastic reel (when I get in a hurry and dont feel for the flat side
).
Change the film in a changing room bag [they are large] then if you drop the film or the reel they stay in the bag and only fall a few inches or centimeters.
