The first thing you should do is decide that you are in fact a designer and start thinking like one day in, day out. Make design practice your habit. Eat, sleep, breathe art and design. Observe your surroundings. Keep a notepad with you everywhere you go and record all of your thoughts in a combination of words and sketches. Read as many books as you can and don't limit yourself to design related titles. Read everything. Read about culture. Read about communication. Read continuously. Learn to understand typography. Learn composition. Take photos. Find out what inspires you. Figure out how to keep yourself on a creative roll and when you do fall off the horse figure out how to get yourself back on.
In the meantime, download the software you need and read the help files all the way through. Learning the software is very important but is useless without a design educated user.
Peace.
