Ok, towel not thrown yet, so perhaps there is still some interest. In this case I would advise to step up to the next level. Basically what you've learned so far, is the BASIC that is advised below. Instead I would advise you to read sicp and watch the video lectures. This will teach you about abstractions, and how to think about programs at a higher level. This won't remove the difficulties with the kind of code you've shown: a lot of programmers don't get it, and write horrible, unabstracted, code. But at least it will allow you to recognize the problem, and to avoid or solve it yourself.
