You are lucky to be considering things like OOP in class.
When i did a course at college we learnt Turbo Pascal for DOS, only it was 1998, not 1988. Our college couldn't afford pentiums, or windows! Hence almost everything we learnt was 5-15 years out of date.
Its probably good you're learning Java, here in England at least it is the most commonly requested knowledge for a job, apart from web programming like PHP/ASP
