Well first of all thanks for all the replies and info, and yes the more I continue to read the more i realize that there is way more to this than i originally thought.

Unfortunately you came in a little late for casual mining but i really hope this will not lead to the end of your interest in bitcoin. Post an address here for donations and ill send you a few cents worth of btc to get started with.

Wow thats pretty cool and very generous of you, it looks like I have stumbled across a great community (sadly thats getting rarer on the internet these days). My address is 15xMw3iZbvCzAPGzg76Nf7RnF5FFjucT9b but I'm just curious as to what I would do with it if you donate? like is there a way for me to make it grow? I'm just really keen on this concept as I'm a student living on campus and everyone knows that age old SOB story lol. So ultimately I'm looking for ways to scrape up what ever I can whenever I can.

When i first started with bitcoins the bitcoin faucet gave me like $0.10 worth of btc but when i checked up on that $0.10 like a year later it was worth like $8.00 so dont underestimate the power of bitcoins. Alternatively you could gamble with it at http://satoshidice.com/ and see if you have enough luck to turn it into enough money to actually buy something with.
