Making up a poem

Q: I have an English project at school in which I need a very specific kind of urdu poem. However, I did not find any suitable urdu poem, so I thought of making up a poem based on a false story, or a real story but with false details, just to achieve the requirements of my assignment. My intention is not to report the story in the poem, but to illustrate the details like setting and characters, genre and the language in it. Is this permissible in Islam, or will this be considered a lie?

Nude arts class

Q: I was just enrolled in an "arts appreciation" class in college without knowing that they show nude art in it as well. I heard medical students are permitted to look at nudity for educational purposes. I was wondering if the same applies for my business degree. My degree plan does not require me to take this class in particular (it still requires some kind of art such as music, dance, or drama), but it would be a problem for me if I have to drop this class since it's already paid for. I'm pretty sure I don't have to draw any animate beings in this class, it's mostly analysis of art.

Studying computer science

Q: Sometimes I just feel this boredness of doing something, I use to be a smart computer science guy but now all this is just fading away. I don't know why but what I knew for sure is I loved it more than anything. I just can't live without computer. But since I became more serious about Islam and fulfilling my duties to it and become more strict, and I'm not complaining though; Alhamdulillah for the mercy Allah has given me, "Allah knows what is best for us and we do not". But my question is should I force myself to try hard to learn it back or revise, because the problem is I always feel weak and down trodden and my head sometimes aches a lot when I start learning, and especially when I'm near my book. I really don't know what to do please.
