Beg, buy, or borrow a laptop that you can “take notes” on in class, develop a very quick alt-tab reflex, and learn to program in another window.
This will improve your math skills somewhat (I still think of trigonometry in terms of the game Asteroids), will give you still that will be useful no matter what your career is, and is really rather addictive. Also, if you decide to do programming as a career or serious hobby, it will give you a good start on your 10,000 hours.
Bonus: you can do it during your non-math classes as well. Use Wikipedia to catch up on the important or interesting parts of history and literature later.
I can recommend this route from personal experience. It won’t do much for your grades, but there are colleges that will overlook that.
