      4 From the first day of the hackathon, I've felt like a part of the team.
      5 And this is thanks to everyone in S{\o}ren's group---especially Marco---who have always made me feel included and like my contribution was valued.
      6 Everyone in the group has been helpful and kind, and I'm glad I've had the opportunity to work with bright, funny people who are always up for a good chat about anything and everything, right down to the last chat about five-for-one deals on paintings.
      7 You guys made the experience what it was.

      9 I'd also like to emphasise my gratitude to Frederik and Marco for introducing me to research and helping me bounce back from my initial frustrations.
     10 I've learned a lot from you guys, and I've gotten a lot of great advice from you.
     11 I've learned a lot from everyone in the group, actually.
     12 
     13 It's hard to overstate S{\o}ren's impact on my master's thesis experience.
     14 Thanks for always being up for a great chat (it led to me doing this thesis in the first place), for giving me the opportunity to work on challenging problems, and for being kind.
     15 I always felt welcome to drop by and bounce ideas off of you; you somehow always managed to make me feel like I was making progress, even when I was stuck.
     16 I don't think I could have chosen a better supervisor.
     17 
     18 I'm also grateful to Julia, J\'ulia, Brandon, and \'Ad\'am (my friend, not the optimiser) for the endless opportunities to sit on the couch and relax and (definitely) not do any work.
     19 Thanks for being great friends.
     20 
     21 Jason and Kristi nurtured in me a sense of curiosity, independence, and kindness.
     22 The three of us go way back; and it's hard to say if I would've come to Denmark without their encouragement.
     23 Thanks for never forgetting me in the supermarket.
     24 
     25 And Lorenza---if you hadn't convinced me to follow through with the hackathon, I wouldn't have had the experience I did.
     26 You've been a great friend and the best person to chat with when I'm feeling overwhelmed.
     27 I'm glad I met you.
     28 
     29 And above all else, to Steampunk.
