Getting back to the CL vs. Scheme question, I think starting with Scheme is a perfectly reasonable choice as it is much more student-friedy (as long as you don't look at continuations too soon). Personally, I now prefer CL because of the multiple namespaces for different things (I can have a variable, a function and a class od the same name without any trouble) and the "dirty" macros I'm more comformable with (maybe just because I'm used to it, many people prefer Scheme for the same thing). But anyways, once you're familiar with lispy languages it'll be very easy to change anyways, so you shouldn't really worry much about starting with the "right one". Also, a discussion comparing CL to Scheme or maybe even Haskell, OCaML or F# is rather pointless, as all of these language give you so much more abstraction and flexibility compared to the C-family (including Java) that their differences should not really matter..
