Any thought? If i do transfer, i basically wasted 2 years of my career

No motivation to do homework?
You're human. Who actually
likes doing questions from a textbook?
I can't help you to find motivation to learn programming other than to just take things at an applied level. Take a stack of cards and play around with sorting algorithms.. find a fun way that sorts them. Create something that makes someone in your households' life easier. I can make things for myself, but if I make someone elses' life much easier the feeling is 10x better. Being a programmer makes you a magician: you take words and pull a rabbit out of a hat after compiling them. Code in your favourite language. Learn javascript, php, ruby, etc.
What 3rd year compsci courses are you taking this sem? After looking at the higher level compsci courses, they look to focus on theory than actual programming. The only programming intensive ones look like cmpt 300 and 307 and all of the ones listed in the multimedia specialization.
