I don't expect anyone to read this, but if you are, hi! I'm Ally. This blog is about the journey I'm beginning towards finding my zest for my, my chutzpah, my vim and verve...essentially, the appetite for life, sense of wonder, and joy that have been sorely lacking from my life lately.
To be more time-specific, for roughly the past year I've felt in a...sort of....well, a funk, to be completely truthful. It's as if my zest for life disappeared. Some pretty dramatic things happened in my life in 2010 that were the catalyst for some amazing personal growth and change. But in the summer of 2011 I had to make some hard choices as to what kind of people I wanted in my life. I cut the vast majority of my friends out of my life mid-summer, and by the time fall rolled around my days mainly consisted of sparsely attending class, eating chocolate, and watching Doctor Who.
The beginning of 2012 went by in a blur of tests, exams, and spending every last moment I could with some friends who were soon to leave my city. Then, this summer rolled around, and instead of "working" on myself, I sat around and thought about all the things I didn't like in my life. Which is no way to spend a summer, believe me!
Now, on the eve of this new school year, I'm ready for some major changes! Bring it on, life!

Next up.... a list of my goals for this year.
