I was a CS major and during my first "real" internship, I was feeling the same way. I dreaded coming to work. It was a long day. I was working in a windowless office, writing PL/SQL to generate reports and trying to learn COBOL for some legacy billing system. I was not offered full time work, fortunately. Everything worked out when I got a job doing Web Development with .NET and JavaScript. For me, just the change in technology was enough. And I needed to grow up a little more. I still work as a developer and my days fly by.
