<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

My teacher gave us this assignment and said we would have to take a test if we didn't do the assignment. So here I am writing this entire project, staying up until 2AM Monday and Tuesday. I finish it, and turn it in, only to see that nearly the entire class didn't do the project. I am the top student in the class, so I knew I could easily ace the test, but I wasn't expecting only 5 people to do the project. Not only did I fuck up by wasting a ton of time on the project, but I also had to present it in front of the class. I have extreme social anxiety and I hardly ever talk in person so this almost made me not do the project. I also could have been working on my 10 page research paper that's due next week.
<bot>: I wasted an entire week working on a project that I have to present when I could have just aced a test instead
