I think things are just stuck on it. Is it a desktop keyboard or a laptop one? Desktops are easier to clean off, but laptop ones have a better chance of messing up like that. In any case, just let it all dry if you can. If you have something that can speed up that process(hair dryer, fan, etc.) maybe that will help. Milk isn't that bad when it dries, so the keys shouldn't stick.

the following keys are not working on borrowed keyboard:
b n question slash key numbers -
zxcvm,. sometimes don't work on this keyboard
the following are not working on laptop:
left shift o question slash key
zxcvm,.;' keys work, but they work hard and sometimes I have to press them multiple times before I get it to type, sometimes I don't get them to work at all
as you can see, there are a couple of repeats If the bottom letters on neither keyboard work...then I won't be able to respond unless I pull up the virtual keyboard. LOL I have to use three keyboards to get all the keys.

It happens sometimes your keyboard shifts between UK index and US index, which the keys are placed differently. Press the bottom left SHIFT and CTRL at the same time, it should switch to the other one.
If you spilled milk though and have problems with stickey keys try and get a can of compressed air, you can get them at computer stores. Fire away like mad at it, it should get rid of anything stuck under it. Otherwise bring it to a computer store to get cleaned anyway.
[[veeery late reply, I know. But just incase its still broken)

It is still broken, but I'm using another keyboard that I had at home to type with.
I will be bringing my computer to my internship site...mainly because I want to be able to play the music on my iTunes for one of my clients. However, with the keyboard problem, I won't be able to type in the c-box very well.

You honestly should just get your keyboard cleaned out at a computer shop. It's a shame you dont get to use it only because the keyboard on it is broken

And if cleaning it out doesn't take care of it, definitely get it to a shop as soon as you can. There may be a short somewhere in the board.
