> I don't mind mapping at all. I'm perfectly willing to put in whatever amount of effort that it calls for. My problem, however, is this: it just doesn't help me very much, because for whatever reason it never works when I try to make my own maps. I borrowed my friend's paper map of the maze in Brackly Hall and was able to make it through the maze. It was still really difficult, though, even with a detailed, pre-made map sitting right in front of me.

I know the feeling! I had the same problem with the Brackly Hall maze; I tried drawing my own map of the maze, but the result ended up being just plain wrong and therefore useless. In the end, I just stumbled through the maze, and I still have items left to collect in it.

Of course, it doesn't help that maps oftentimes confuse me in Real Life™ too...

And on that topic, anyone have any hints on how to get better spatially adjusted in real life? My sense of direction is literally horrible; I can actually have driven or walked a path numerous times and STILL forget which way to go the next time. It's quite inconvenient, really. And don't even get me started on trying to stay in the center of the lane. Or parking.
