Editing First Steps

 You've just begun your journey into editing! How does it feel to take your first baby steps? What are three things that surprise you? What are you finding difficult?

As a beginner I feel that it's kinda hard to memorize each steps, where things goes, keyboard stuff, pages, etc. But I feel excited for this adventure and learn new things, increasing my editing skills and I know that this is barely starting, because on the future I will do good without confusion, because I always have to ask somebody for a little help. Some things that surprised me were the way to cutting the clips without having the whole video in the editing area, just watching it, also the effects, which i don't know yet how to add it at all, but the way that we need to do a lot of things for just a simple one.
