Good on you for doing it though. How much was it to buy all of the ingredents?

If it wasn't for my friend teaching me, I do not even want to think about what a disaster this experience could've been. The rice was a little hard and chewy... but either than that, I was surprised at how well it turned out. And this coming from the person who burned her scrambled eggs yesturday
I was actually surprised at how relatively inexpensive it was, especially considering how easy it is to drop money at a Japanese restaurant. The green roley things (I think they're called nuri or something...) were $2 for 10, rice is super cheap (but you have to get the special sushi rice, sorry, no minute rice...), and whatever your fillings are I guess really are what determines the cost. Wasabi is about $3 a tube, and pickled ginger is about the same... A rolling mat is about $2. All this is available at any Asian market.
If you love sushi, I suggest you give it another shot. It's totally worth it!
