<human>: Pardon the Linkin Park refeence...it just seemed appropriate

So I don't want to keep boring my friends and fiance with my boo-hoo story of how I worked super hard on my final project for my mechatronics course and got a D on it....because I did! My team mate and I planned everything out, had one of the best looking games (the project was an electromechanical penny arcade) and some of the most unique approaches to our design challenges. Our game was a shooting gallery of sorts with little ghosts that lit up and you would shoot them with a laser gun we made. Anyway, we were late in submitting it and thought, sure, we'd lose some points. Boy, we were in for a surprise. The professor took 45 points off (out of 100) for us being late. We were late by 5 hours. I'm just really upset because we didn't sleep one night and only slept 3 hours the night before to get this fucker done and we got the same grade we would've gotten if we just slept anyway. I had a solid A, now I have a B. I wanted to get straight As, something I'd never really worked for and I finally tried and got fucked. So now my GPA which would've been posed for a strong 3.6 will now only ever get to be a 3.5. My masters has been my last chance to prove to myself I can be a high-GPA-scoring student (I've always glided by through high school, college) and it just makes me feel like a failure to see this happening. What pisses me off even more is that I have to take the next class with him and I KNOW I'm going to hate it because I'm going to be bitter about this the entire quarter. I'm full of regret and anger and I have no idea how to let it go.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Turned in a project 6 hours late after losing two nights of sleep, lost 45% of the grade and turned my solid A into a B
