Default Nikon Newbie

Hi! I'm new to this forum and new to NIkon. I have a Nikon FM circa '77 which i recently purchased from e-bay. The camera is great but i have only the lense it came with... 50mm 1:1.8 ( still have no idea what the #'s really mean!)
Anyway I am taking BW photography course in the fall (starting college at 39!!!!!) and want to start the class well prepared but i'm having trouble figuring out what lenses i might need the most and which ones work best w/ my camera in order to take advantage of AI S or AI??? on my camera (still very confused).
I've taken some great pics so far..none that look the least bit perfessional however.
I'm so excited to be working with this medium after years of dreaming. If anyone can offer some good advice I'd be so happy.

Nice to meet you all. Look forward to hearing from someone soon

Regards,
Jojoleen
