First year CS can be boring, the more interesting classes come later. I highly recommend sticking with it, I was in a similar place freshman year and really enjoyed the later years of the degrees. I also recommend talking to the TA's and professors to see if you can get involved in any of their research or projects. That's something I was able to do junior year, and if I'd known about it I probably could've gotten involved much sooner.

I would absolutely love to get involved with a research project. Unfortunately the CS program at school is relatively new and I'm pretty sure there nothing like that going on. I know most of the TAs and they have a habit of coming to me for help with their coding homework. So that's a bit of a dead end. I'm sure you're right about the later classes being more engaging, so at least I have that to look forward to.
