Well I can relate to that kind of story, although I got it mostly out of my system by college.
I took one CS class as well. I didn't read the syllabus carefully, and thus didn't realize that the lab was 10% of my grade, so I got a final score of 89%. I tried to argue that getting 99% of the rest of the course right should make up for the missing lab work, to no avail. This is how I ended up a chemistry major.
Anyway, I think you would get a lot out of this essay. I did at least.
