Welcome Mitchell,
Yeah your telescope doesn't sounds like a cheapy, but that's okay as these cheap "department store" telescopes can very easily turn away a newcomer to amateur astronomy. You seem to have survived and its even made you more determine to improve. Well done, keep asking questions, there is plenty of collective knowledge here to get you moving forward in leaps and bounds. And hook up with your local club, it is the best thing to do at this early stage.
