Narrative:
After departing runway 36 at dca, I proceeded left of course, not following the river departure due to a mistake on my part. I did this to avoid wake turbulence from a preceding B757. Contributing factors were being rushed with an aircraft on approach to runway 36 on 2 mi final and aircraft going through intersecting runways landing. Also, I had been out sick for the last 5 and a half months. Also, our initial clearance was to turn right to 090 degree heading after takeoff. We checked with the tower and received the revised clearance.
