OK Hayley, all is not lost.
Download stellarium (
http://www.stellarium.org) and use it to learn the constellations and the night sky.
The first thing you should do is point your scope at the moon. As most newbies are, you'll be amazed at what you see. Hopefully this will whet your appetite for more targets!
I started with a 70mm refractor, following the planets from my yard. I suggest a copy of Astronomy 2010 (
http://www.quasarastronomy.com.au) to help you plan observing from your yard. If you decide you're really getting into it, then I'd recommend joining an astro club.
The best advice anyone could give you is to go at your own pace, come back here and ask for help if you're stuck but above all make sure you're enjoying yourself!
Cheers
Wade
