I can relate since I am in a similar predicament as well. When I was in high school i loved programming and the idea of game designing. I am gonna graduate with a CS degree this spring with just above 2.0 average. A lot of my grades got shot from me becomign disenchanted with the CS program and my personal boredom with school after 2 1/2 years. I use to love CS, i still do to a point but the way the program is taught at my school is more like programming for ITM majors. there is no push by the profs to make the students be creative or ingenuitive in their work, just a bunch of brainwashing so we can be code monkeys with our black ties and white shirts and our cubicles. But Im gonna fight it out and I do things that I love. I put my own little twist on my projects even though the professor might not like it. On the side I work on what I want to be in life (A writer and movie and director) and I study the CS topics that interest me the most (computer interfacing, genetic algs, AIs, quantam computing). I have found this approach to help me alot and has made my last year as a CS major very tolerable. I like CS. I don't how I have been taught it. But I apply it how I see fit in my life.
I would just like to throw in some good titles: Kite Bubblegum Crisis(and Crash for that matter) Macross(especially plus) Neon Genesis Evangelion Pet Shop of Horrors Laughing Target(most of the rumic world stuff is great) Plastic Little Dominion: Tank Police Appleseed

All I wanna know is if I can get a baby that goes with my Prada handbag and Gucci pumps? :)
