Are the first programming courses in the Computer Science major supposed to be hard?

It’s a great book and I can tell already that it’s a great class. Do your best and you’ll be fine. Master the concepts in that book and you’ll be able to program circles around the Java/C++ crowd, even in Java or C++. Also study hard and practice. Get help from TAs if you need it. Scheme is such that programs can be often written very quickly. That’s one of the reasons that it’s such a good language to learn CS.
