That's exactly how I felt during my first and second year of computer science. But once I started the 300 level courses, I started to enjoy it much more. Courses in the first two years are much more about the foundation, hence can be a bit dry. Upper level courses are more enjoyable (for me at the least) because they are about specific topics such as networking, operating systems, graphics etc... so you can become more immersed in something you enjoy vs taking a course because it is a requirement.

Also, since you are in your 3rd year, it might be a good idea to look into coop and see how the industry is like. Working in the industry and learning all the theories and stuff in school is much much different. You might come to like computing science.

I dunno, thats just my take on it.=] Hope it helps
