I'm really frustrated right now for our finals and I just don't have anyone to rant to about it because I feel like in this situation, I'm the one who looks bad. Was I really the bad one here? My finals for one class is a 6 people group project in the form of a workshop happening this saturday. Initially, all of us were going to present, but then suddenly, the presentation was assigned to only two of our members including me.
The remaining four also took some tasks: two will be the hosts and two will be the activity facilitator. The two of us presenting both said that just the two of us may not be enough for the presentation, so one of the activity facilitators volunteered to also present, so now she has two tasks- presenting and facilitating.
Then our professor, who was supposed to deliver the closing remarks passed the speech instead to me- and I thought that was unfair since I'm going to be writing my script for the presentation and presenting on the day itself. I didn't think I could take writing a speech on top of that. So I asked my groupmates who can take the closing remarks, since it would be heavy for me.
But then, the one who volunteered was the person who already has two tasks- presenting and facilitating Ideally, she shouldn't have taken that responsibility since she had more tasks than I did. So everyone in the group then volunteered to take some of her roles, including me.
She disappeared for a while and then my remaining one groupmate with the least amount of tasks who will only be facilitating volunteered instead to do the closing remarks. But it seems that the one with a lot of tasks was tired of everyone swapping roles and was adamant to take the closing remarks.
And I feel like she's angry at me specifically, because I didn't want to do the closing remarks. But I felt that it really was unfair for me to both present and make a speech, I'm not like her who'd be willing to take all the goddamn tasks in the world. She got angry in the group chat and was so passive aggresive, kind of putting down us- the people who also volunteered to take some of her tasks so they aren't heavy for her too.
Am I the asshole here?
I'm sorry if this is so long I'm just really stressed and frustrated about this since I'm really not sure if I'm being an asshole here.

2If I was in the group, I wouldn't care and just show up at the event without any preperation. Any task given to me will just look bad for the whole group
