One suggestion is to try asking someone for help. At work, I have other
progammers around who can help me get past mental blocks. Sometimes all
I need is a second pair of eyes. Other times, I drop by and help
someone else get going again on their work. I know class projects often
prohibit working with others - but in the "real world" you co-workers
are there to help. In time you'll also get better at getting yourself
unstuck.

Big programs are built of many little programs! That's what functions /
procedures are for. Just work on building the skill of breaking down a
big assignment into smaller ones.

If you're interested in programming, have reasonable intelligence and
keep at it, you should be able to make it.
