One book I always recommend to the first year students (most of whom find drawing mystifying) is “Drawing on the right side of the brain” by Betty Edwards. This is NOT a how to for designers but rather a book that shows the reader how to “really see” through drawing. You can probably find the book in your local library.

Also, I second Susannah’s comment. Learn Adobe CS if you haven’t already. You’ll be happy you did.

Best of luck!

If you find yourself in Philadelphia I can give you some good local bars and restaurants to visit. PS whatever you do don’t get a philly cheesesteak from Pat’s OR Genos. Not only are they really gross but Genos is a notoriously racists establishment. Don’t Listen to the HYPE, it’s BS.

More Philly locals: Bartram’s Gardens in West Philly. A 250 year old naturalists garden collection with the oldest Ginko tree in the country as well as the Franklinia alatamaha which was saved from extinction by the Bartrams and named after their friend Ben Franklin.
