I saw a later post where you indicated you were going to try honing it yourself because what the heck, it couldn't get worse. Believe me, you CAN and WILL make it a lot worse if you do not know what you are doing.
For what it is worth, I would highly recommend you cool your jets a little and take things slower. You need to spend some time watching videos, visiting the Wiki and reading posts. I have spent 4 months doing so and have still not set a blade to a hone. But I am perfectionist and that is just me.
My last piece of advice is to find a "Mentor". There are many on this site. PM one you think you can get along with and I am certain he will agree to assist you. Just my 2 cents.
