A Step Forward! (or Maybe a Total Waste of Money)

I'm finally getting a drawing tablet!  I'M SO HAPPY!  It's the Wacom Intuos Pen, Small.  I also downloaded a free software called GIMP that was actually recommended professionally.  The tablet normally costs $80 but thanks to my good friend Wal-Mart, it's been bumped down to $60!

Now the only issue is that I can't draw (TT-TT).  TEACH ME YOUR WAYS MIN!!!
