Major Problems!

I figured this is as good a place as any to post this.
I have no clue what I should major in!  I declared 2, but I'm beginning to
think that Mech E. is not for me.  I think I want to go 6.3, but I'm
worried that I won't be a very competitive CS type.  My computer experience
before MIT was incredibly limited.  (well, so was my M.E. experience).  The
thing is, I took 1.00 and did really well/ liked it (ignoring the dispute
over the quality of the course, I enjoyed it, liked tooling for it, etc).
I am currently in 6.001 and like it.  I'm also in 2.02 (intro to sys. dynamics)
and hate it.  I'm in 2.40 (thermo) and find it very interesting, but not the
kind of thing I can sit and do all day without going stir crazy.

Argh!  Argh!  Argh!

Any opinions? (especially from 6.3 majors, and extra-especially from any 2
majors)  (actually, opinions is the wrong term: advice or comments is more
like it)
