The classic engineering student journey from "ugh, CAD homework" to "I've created a fully-functional nuclear reactor design at 4 AM instead of finishing the simple assignment."
Computer-Aided Design starts as this intimidating mountain of software complexity, then suddenly becomes an obsession where you're designing ridiculous contraptions while your actual assignment sits untouched. The progression from reluctance to addiction is painfully accurate - that moment when you realize you've spent 12 hours perfecting the aerodynamics of a theoretical toaster instead of completing the simple bracket you were supposed to model.
And the final stage? Pure despair as you realize your magnificent creation cost you the actual grade. The engineering circle of life in six perfect frames.
