Day 17 - June 1, 2010 - Mapping a Route

"A good plan is like a road map: it shows the final destination and usually the best way to get there." ~H. Stanley Judd

The maze at the Blenheim palace was quite entertaining to say the least. We didn’t think we would have time to complete it before our bus left, but we decided to try our luck anyways. At first, we were pretty lost, but we managed to find our way to a bridge that allowed us to see the whole maze from above. Once we were there, we used teamwork to finish the maze quickly. Several of us stayed on the bridge and watched one person go through the maze. We helped her by directing her right and left depending on the necessary path. Once she had made it out, we followed the route we had laid out for her.

Post-college seems like a maze from my current vantage point. It’s long, full of twists and turns, and I don’t know what to expect around the next corner. I’ve felt that way about other phases in my life as well. Somehow, I’ve managed to make it this far. With the help of friends and family, I’ve been able to map out a course and make it to where I am now. Post-grad life will be the same. I’ve got a lot of choices to make, but I’m not alone. I can always ask for a little guidance here and there.
