Just start programming. You can do worse than the first of the Racket Tutorials:

and then Feilisen's How to Design Programs:

The PLT group has been seriously studying the pedagogy of programming and computer science for more than 20 years. The use of Scheme as a teaching language goes back forty years to its inception.

Good luck.

@OP Studying HtDP is a good choice for someone entering Computer Science. HtDP is written by experienced CS professors and will introduce you to many important CS topics.
