Yes, but in those hours you'd be gaining knowledge of AS that can help you later.

Yes, very possible. Here are a couple of hints:
set theText to the clipboard
-- remove colons and upcase the text here
set the clipboard to fixedText
Do your best and, if you get stuck, post your code and questions. We'll be happy to help.
