Where I live (SoCal Mojave Desert) you either learn to fly in the wind or you don't fly at all. There are usually only a couple of hours early in the morning where you don't have wind - if you're lucky.
Don't mind flying with the wind straight down the runway, but hate flying with a cross wind. It was all really my fault. Should've never happened, Lack of stick time is my biggest culprite, especailly in the wind.
