Only having 36 frames and having to wait a week to see your pictures will teach you more than you can imagine. Don't be disheartened if all your pictures are rubbish, they will get better.

If you have a bit more money then buy a cheap digital compact camera, making sure it has a manual setting and use that to learn. There is more to photography then pointing the camera and pressing a button.
Thank you Jurek. I will learn your advice.
