As the full moon loomed in the night sky, our dedicated team toiled tirelessly over cauldrons of ideas, concocting a bewitching brew for the upcoming peer-review preliminary design report (PDR) presentation on a fateful Tuesday. Unfortunately, we ran out of time for a crucial run-through. As we stood before our class, we quickly realized our presentation had exceeded the allocated 15 minutes as our TA quickly informed us but was kind enough to let us finish. Subsequently, our audience provided invaluable feedback, pinpointing the main issues and weaknesses. These encompassed minor errors in equations and a tendency to confuse them with the technical background of the presentation. Armed with this constructive criticism, we resolved to overhaul certain aspects of our teamwork, ensuring ample time for thorough preparation. We have been meeting nearly every day this week. This endeavor, however, came at the somber cost of our precious sleep which isn’t anything new as we’re all engineering students.  

In the shadowy corners of our minds, we are brewing and concocting, restructuring and refining. With newfound vigor, we will emerge from the darkness, ready to present a spellbinding PDR that will send shivers down the spines of our liaisons.
