Burnout...

... is what I am feeling these days. Second year is like a never-ending slew of the binge and purge of information. As I move into exam week, I realize how much motivation I've lost since I was a bright-eyed and energetic first year. I've gotten to the point where I don't even care that I've lost motivation. Earlier in the year, I still got worked up about the fact that I wasn't as worked up about exams. Now, even that is gone.

But as sad as it is that I am not as gung-ho about learning everything they throw at us as I used to be, I realize that this is probably a good development. No one can make it through medical school giving that much of themselves to their studies without losing a big part of themselves by the end of the process. I don't see how that would make you a better doctor.
