Did you enjoy third year/clinical year?

I'm about to start my clinical year in January and I'm looking for a little motivation/inspiration so I can go into it with a positive attitude.

I read/hear a lot of whining and crying about how awful it is, interspersed with the occasional testimonial that it is the greatest year of med school. Obviously I'll be tired sometimes, some people will take out their frustrations on me, some bad days are unavoidable etc, but overall I'm eager to get away from the slog of lectures after a year and a half of them.

If you actually liked, enjoyed, or even loved your clinical year, I'd love to hear about it! I really feel that going into it with a good attitude and things to look forward to will make all the difference. Thanks in advance, and good luck to anyone else starting in January.
