First of all, good luck.

Secondly, it will be way over your head now, but get the GoF book,
"Design Patterns". It'll serve you well in the long run and it is an
indespensable OO reference.

As far as a beginner book for OO, I love "The object oriented thought
Process" by Weisfeld. It's short (about 200 pgs.) and extremely simple
and well written. It explains all of the concepts of OO design in very
simple language. Get it.
