I'm actually quite renowned amongst friends for being absolutely terrible at map reading and following directions in general but when it comes to my life map, that's all mapped out and followed religiously! I strongly feel that without this it is easy to drift in life so i'm pleased you're also taking this seriously and wish you the best of luck. x I loved reading your post as it sounds just like me!

It was rare for anyone to take a year off before law school, other than for something mandatory like the military. There were few "side trips" to one's chosen path. That is one thing that, I think, has changed for the better. I agree with the sentiments here, although one must also bear in mind that life is often management of "Plan B." Detours are not always voluntary! As a 1969 SLS grad and 44 year lawyer, I can add that in those days we were more controlled by “gps” than maps.
