An Absolutely Sincere Thank-You to Evan Jensen

To kick off the journal project that I have just been dying to do this whole semester, I just want to express my gratitude for Evan Jensen. "Why Evan Jensen?" a most certainly skeptical reader must be thinking right this very second. "What has he done to earn a thank-you from such an esteemed person like Alex Liu?" (And I thank you, my dear readers, for having such a high opinion of me.) I understand this confusion, and I will take the time to outline my reasons for bestowing such a great honor upon Evan.

I wish to thank Evan for his role in bringing about an AP Lang project for the students of Mrs. Smith's class. I must admit, being the good little Asian child I am, I have been yearning for such a project this whole time. When Mrs. Smith informed us about this project, I'm sure that, on the outside, I appeared to be horrified. I am sure that some might have noted my reputation for being lazy and may believe that, at that moment, I was feeling an intense fury and hatred towards Evan and his plea for an AP Lang project. Nonsense, I say. When I heard about the existence of such a project, I experienced a joy of an enormous magnitude.

So thank you, Evan Jensen. Thank you for helping to bring about this AP Lang project for me to do. Thank you for giving me another reason for me to worry about my AP Lang grade a chance to help my AP Lang grade go up. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so thankful that I have dedicated the very first journal post to this wonderful individual.
