Can I ask how you got over it? I am going through the same thing, except I was in a hard high school program but ended up in a university with an easy Comp Sci program. I am a senior, and the graduate class I am taking this semester is the first time I have been mentally challenged by the Comp Sci department. Because of this, I tend to "give up" easily in other things that I am interested in but are harder (mathematics), or I am not motivated to build apps for fun and portfolio, even though the ideas and the languages come easy to me.

Set a schedule and force yourself to spend, say, forty hours a week worrkimg on schoolwork. And be honest with yourself and don't allow cheating. Once I forced myself to spend a lot of time studying, the easiest thing to do was to simply spend lots of time reading the textbooks, getting assignments perfect before turning them in, and handling all of the optional/extra credit portions of the programming assignments.
