That when you're finished practicing, you've really done something great? The last couple days I've been doing 2-3 hours every night, and I feel so crazy productive when I'm finished! It's awesome! =D

You're making me sad.
I've been out working during the day the past three days and when I'm back, somebody always has a TV going or is making some loud, obnoxious noise.
Not to mention my bow isn't back from rehairing, and the bow my teacher lent me is French.
And I've got some vicious blood blisters on my right hand...
But yes, I do know what you're talking about. I think as bassists, we all have an idea of what perfect is inside our minds--whether that emulates someone else or it's of our own creation. And this concept of perfection is something we all want to achieve, so practicing allows you to materialize a step closer to that perfection. Some steps may be a lot longer and harder to take, but I'm sure it's worth it in the end.

Do you believe in the Left side/ Right side of the Brain concept (from the book, Drawing on ......)? Sounds like you reached the Right side!

I just transferred to a performing arts high school and I get to play in and orchestra setting and practice 10x more. I get a hour and a half a day to practice during school, and then I can stay until 10 pm xD I've run into some problems with tendonitis, but it is still amazing. best decision I've ever made.
