I'm putting off my homework.
I need to manually draft three simple mechanical drawings, but it is taking every fiber of my being to get them done. Motivate me.

2. Do it or the terrorists will win.
If you do your homework here, it prevents them from having to do it there. (go with it).

3. Have done a lot of drafting
Go get it done....it's somewhat time consuming and you know it!

I always hated the times I waited until the night before a drafting piece was due...intense, tiring and mentally draining.

Better to have it done, take little breaks here, and reward yourself with a good chunk of free time.

4. It's an intro to AutoCAD course,
with the instructor's assumption that we have zero experience drafting manually, or that we will ever use it again. He can't even figure out why we are doing it.

I've been doing CAD drawing for a couple years, but I never realized what a pain in the arse it is to do it by hand.

5. Have taken the AutoCAD course, too
CAD is so much easier!!!!

Yeah...tkaes a lot more time to draft mechanical things by hand.

However, you could do it on CAD, print to scale, and trace :evilgrin:

6. It's tempting...
I'd rather not cheat if I can help it. But man it's tempting... :)
