Mental discipline and all that jazz

Last night I sat down at my desk and meticulously drew out not one but TWO schedules for my upcoming MCAT exam. The first one was poorly drawn with ugly colors and thus, I deemed it aesthetically disgraceful and promptly redrew a second schedule. Yes, I definitely am breaking Jack Bauer's rule #1: keep your priorities straight. It seems to me that how my schedule physically looks is almost more important than whether or not I stick to my schedule. Sad state of affairs, eh mate?

However, all is not lost. Tonight is the real test. After I get home from work, I will sit my tush down and study for 2 hours. No excuses. No emergencies short of a terrorist attack will cause me to deviate from my schedule. it's time Emily becomes a tad bit more rigid on herself. Free-wheelin' and dealin' spirit? That's a luxury I can no longer afford. =(

So I was given a small assignment to come up with some films regarding or highlighting mentorship. It's an interesting proposal and caused me to think about the films I've enjoyed over the past years. Here are some that I mentioned:

Matrix: Free your mind.
Kill Bill I: Pai Mei and Beatrix Kiddo
Training Day: Denzel and Ethan Hawke
Entrapment: How to be a super art thief
Amelie: Her relationship with the Glass Man
Karate Kid: Wipe on wipe off
Hitch: How to get hitched
Finding Forrester: Not my personal favorite but definitely about mentorship
Dead Poets Society: Tear out those pages in the textbook - it's all trash
Scent of a Woman: Al Pacino: Hooah!!
Crash: Bitter Cop and Kid Cop
Shawshank Redemption
The Million Dollar Baby: Hillary Swank and Clint Eastwood
Good Will Hunting
