I have just finished second year computer science in college and everything is going good. I aced my exams this year, as I did last year. I completely understand all of what we have covered, and none of it is beyond me.
One problem: I don't seem to know anything about computers!
I don't hang out with the clique of nerds (I don't mean that in any kind of an offensive way!). I am not "into" computers. Don't get me wrong; I very much enjoy my course, but I have other interests outside of college work.
There are others who just seem to know so much more than I do.
So:
1. Should I be worried?
2. What can I do about it?
Of course I'm not expecting a magical; "here, read this book and become a genuis", just some general hints as to what sort of things I should get up to.
I was thinking about setting myself some sort of programming project to do over the summer, to help myself learn. Any ideas?
Here is a link to my courses website if anyone is interested:

Thanks for your help.
ps. I currently work in my local supermarket.
