Hi Hayley, Happy Birthday and welcome to the Madhouse.
Good start with your present, but now you still have your $180 I presume to go towards your next bigger and better scope. I have had a DSE 114 Newt for about 6 months now and it hasn't been too bad after I bought some good eyepieces but I am already realising the limitations and lower quality of the unit. So I am already building a 10" Truss Dob, expecting better views in light polluted Auckland.
Get Stellarium as others have advised, it is excellent after you download a few updates to star feilds, easy to learn and use and good fun when the clouds cover the skies.
Enjoy your night time views.
