Ode to Self

Over 300 hours of writing
More than 100 long ass articles read
A whopping 100+ hours of computations
And some 1300 lines of code under my belt (well ok, this one isn’t really impressive)

Ladies, gentlemen and people of other genders, I have completed my thesis!

And just to give you an idea of how proud and happy I am about this I wrote this little mildly immodest poem.

ODE TO SELF

Life just threw in another twist,
I am a big ass narcissist.

Right when I wake up every morning
I have this strange deep-rooted yearning,
I put my best on nice and slow
And to the mirror off I go.

Dayum I’m so smart and fine as hell,
I go all Training Day Denzel,
‘I am the shit, I run this mothafucka,’
And then I smile and growl just like Chewbacca.

This is the greatest love of all,
Embracing it is my new goal,
I’m my own boo, I’m my own bae,
I love myself like Kanye loves Kanye.
