Confirming an element of my point.

My first question is why are you just taking calculus after your third year in? When I took Computer Engineering (graduated in 2009), Calc 1 was a first semester course and many people had already passed out of it. Did you switch majors to Computer Engineering?
I know its hard to hear, but you just need to keep your head in the books, ask for help from TA/professors, study study study. If that's not working, then it might be worth talking to your advisor or find a mentor to talk through how they got through it. If you are determined to do it you will find a way to get through it and the classes aren't going to get any easier. The main thing is don't give up. You may fail the class this semester or maybe the teacher is just being tough on everyone to weed people out. Ask for help, talk to other students, or evaluate if Computer Engineering is for you.

Yeah you might be better off studying information technology.
Here is a hint: information technology. Is more in demand than computer science.
As there are less people qualified today with a computer science degree. We call them drones at work.

Have you considered talking to a doctor and seeing if you have ADHD? That's a classic symptom of ADHD, even if it is overdiagnosed. I am not saying that you do, but for years, I struggled with undiagnosed ADHD.
ADHD is very real if you truly have it, and it impacts your life.
If you need 'distractions' to keep from being bored, then you really are not retaining or learning the material.
