Should have just written it off as art classes for the untalented.
I still have one of those bags that makes eraser crumbs in the back of my desk drawer, next to the precision compass.

I took one quarter of drafting in HS. It was torturous. Fine-motor-hand-eye coordination has never been my thing. Flunked "cutting" in kindergarten and never better than a C in handwriting. Zero drawing talent. Even with T-squares and triangles, I could never get the lines to close cleanly.
In my first job (before academia) we worked with blueprints. I will never forget the smell or the damp feel of a freshly made blueprint.
