<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

I'm a second semester freshman at a medium size university. I'm about halfway through the semester at this point so dropping classes is out of the question. Recently I've changed directions from being a Information Technology major (CS) to looking at majoring in Journalism (with an yet-to-be-determined dual major or minor). 

The problem is now that I know I'm not going into CS/IT I'm struggling in my classes. I petitioned to drop my programming course because on top of not being interested I was struggling pretty hard to keep up and it was taking up way too much time (away from my other courses). While I wait for the petition to be granted or denied my grade in the class is dropping (93%-78% in one week.) 

I'm still in an IT class focusing on networking and web development and pre-calculus. Neither of these classes will count for anything once I change to my new major. I Really don't have an interest in learning IT/ more math. My lack of interest is turning into lack of motivation 

It's hard for me to keep trying in these classes that are essentially a waste of time. I can't wait for this semester to be over so I can start down the right path learning what I care about. I don't want to fail my current courses (I'm assuming that would have some nasty consequences) but it's hard to care
<bot>: I changed majors now I have no interest in my classes and it's affecting my grade. Whether I give up on them or some how manage to pass I feel like it's still a waste of time.
