[BLUG] Looking to study further in computer science

I just finished my first computer science class at IU (covering Scheme), and next semester the class I'm taking will be covering Unix, Emacs, and especially Java.  I'm wanting to push myself to learn something more at the same time (eventually I would love to get involved with some sort of open source project).  Would it be wise to try to learn more than one language at once in the first place, or would I be better served trying to learn more Java than the course covers?  What types of projects are developed with Java?  What other language would be useful to try to self learn?

Thanks for the info and Happy New Year everybody!
