Hey /prog/.

I'm currently in an intro to CS class, and we're programming in Haskell. I've done all of the assignments so far, and I did well on the exam we've taken, but I find myself dreading every single assignment. The problems just seem so trivial and dumb to me. I get them done eventually, but I'm only happy when it's done. I mean, who isn't happy when work is done. I've never actually programmed before, so this is my first venture into the whole thing. Should I take this as the representation of my aptitude toward programming in general? Should I rethink my future as a software dev or another similar job?
Thoughts and comments appreciated, I feel hopeless.....

A real computer scientist naturally enjoys writing code, no matter how trivial.

Change your major, OP.

I enjoyed my Haskell assignments. Some of them were a bit trivial, but I didn't really mind as I could complete those immediately.
The less trivial assignments gave me a better understanding of the functional paradigm and I enjoyed that quite a bit.

If you can not get excited about solving problems using a programming language, I think you should consider whether there is something else you would rather be studying.
CS is far from just writing code, but if you truly dislike that part, I am not convinced you will like the rest.

Best of luck.

Thanks for your input guys, I appreciate it.
I suppose I really should rethink this whole thing....

Become an IT architect and command&control all those haskell monkeys below you.

They won't let you control endangered species.

Don't change these.
