I had been having really productive practice sessions for a solid chunk of time and I was really getting excited about I was sounding. Then one night after a pretty heavy day of classes an rehearsals I finally got over to the practice room at about 9:00 P.M. (well after I usually have my first session) and nothing was working. I couldn't focus mentally and my fundamentals were a mess. It was by far the most frustrating day of practicing I've ever had. There is a lot of consolation in "tomorrow is another day", but over a week later I still think about that night and try to analyze what went wrong.
