question about protein powder

[Sub-Zero]

okay, i know this is a very basic and probably retarded question, but im going to buy my first tub of protein tomorrow, and im wondering exactly what the deal is with it...

im new,obviously, and i was wondering when i should take it...i was reading and it said "Suggested use:
Mix 1 heaping scoop of 100% Whey Protein with 6-8 oz. of water or skim milk. Take 2-3 servings daily."

so do i want to take it when i wake up, when i get home from school, and after i get home from the gym? or can i get away with only taking it twice, and if so when would I?

help greatly appreciated, thanks

also how much is 6-8 oz? is that like a cup?

and also, can i take it with 2% milk, or if i dont have skimmilk then stick with water

Best time for 100% whey is first thing in the moring and postworkout.
You can take with 2% milk skim milk or water.
Last yes 6 to 8oz is like a cup
