ECG help

I am a first year medical student and I have been practicing with ECGs. For some reason i was pretty nervous about it and my heart rate was slightly higher than usual (90bpm - not really worried about that). However i did notice that the p wave on lead II was slightly wobbly. It still followed its normal shape but it was just a bit wobbly. Everything else seemed normal. I was just wondering if this is a problem. Could we have slightly misplaced the electrodes to give this wobbly reading? Was my nerves a factor in this? Should i get a proper ECG done by a professional? I am a healthy 19 year old with no medical conditions and am not overweight or anything. I know this probably isn't the place to be asking this question but i just wanted to get some opinions on it.

I have uploaded a photo of it, i only had a small part of it.

I assume that the signals from two atria here superimposed on each other.  Don't know anything about this, nor whether its normal or not normal.  It doesn't look real scary or anything.  Do you have other symptoms or are you worried about it?  If so maybe you would want to ask at your next physical?

Probably just some noise/disturbances.
