Working towards my computer science degree, I was in a similar situation the last couple of years. I had realized that the two main aspects of computer science, math and programming, not only didn't really interest me but I wasn't very good. This really hit home when we did some group projects and I felt clueless.
Like you, I realized it was too late to change and that I'd gone far enough down the road that I might as well go to the end. I stuck it out and managed to get through the remaining courses and graduate with a decent GPA ("honors" actually).
Three years later, I am happy that I finished the degree, and realize that I did have some interest in the subject matter but was sick and tired of going to school. Some of the things I learned, which seemed useless to me at the time, are coming in handy. Knowing that my diploma and the learning behind it will help me get a job if I ever need to is very empowering.
I know I didn't really address your questions directly (how should you organize and motivate yourself), but I thought I might be able to reassure you that it's not a complete waste of time, even if it seems that way right now.
One practical idea - if you could hire a good tutor, helping you get through the crap and keeping you motivated would be worth a lot.
