D is for Detour!

Well it's time for another funny Melanie story.

So today I was traveling from PEI back to Halifax, and...silly me... I was relying on my GPS to get me home. Well we (me and another recruiter) were on our way to what we thought was the Confederation Bridge when we realized the GPS was directing us to the fastest route back which was....you guessed it, the FERRY! We realized pretty much right at the terminal that we were not headed towards the bridge...and the bridge was now 2 HOURS away! We both had to be back for meetings so we kind of panicked and went to the info booth to find that the next Ferry was leaving in 5MINS...we JUST made it!

So our detour turned out to be the best mistake of the day! We made the Ferry and got back earlier than we would have if we took the bridge. What does this have to do with The Mount? Well I think that it kind of works as a metaphor for the decisions you have to make coming up. How do you decide where to go? What if you aren't going in the direction you planned? It just shows that going with the original plan isn't always the best idea. Trying to choose a program might be challenging, but there is always room to change your mind. Just because you always planned to take a certain program or go to a certain university doesn't mean you can't choose a different path. Take a different course every once in a while, you never know what you might stumble upon. Sometimes mistakes help you make great discoveries!
