I'm a chem PhD student and I haven't done any meaningful work in months. Instead of being excited for my next project, I just think of how much work it will be. Once I'm done here (or get kicked out) all I want to do is get a benchmonkey job where I don't have to think ever again, work a 9-5, and do nothing else with my life.

Where did the passion go. I used to be so enthusiastic about tinkering around with projects and now I dread everything. What's wrong with me
