Engineering professors have mastered the dark art of time dilation—not through relativistic physics, but through holiday homework! They'll casually assign 14 problem sets, 3 design projects, and a textbook to rewrite from memory, then act genuinely surprised when students aren't celebrating. It's like they believe Newton's forgotten law: "For every minute of vacation, there must be an equal and opposite amount of suffering." The cognitive dissonance between "I specifically requested it" and students' mental breakdowns is probably the true renewable energy source powering engineering departments nationwide.
