I'm not an engineer

I've come to the conclusion I'm not an engineer.

That doesn't mean I'm not going to do what I can to complete my master's. What it means is that I don't think like an engineer. I don't think in exact numbers or "within the range." I don't accept equations given to me.

I ask why. I want to know how things actually work, not just how to make them work. I don't just want an equation given to me and different parameters applied. I want to understand how everything works.

I'm not an engineer. I'm a physicist.
