Cheap ass developing/darkroom lust

I've been researching all that I can so I can reduce the costs of developing my own photos. I don't have room for an enlarger, unless I convert the bathroom at the times I would like to use it...but I don't know how I would light proof that...I should research that some more. But at the time being, I wouldn't mind only developing my film, seeing that I already have a film scanner. Which will suffice for my summer holiday, until I can get back into the school darkroom.

I'm looking to reduce the costs by shopping for the items I need at the Bargain Camera Show in Pasadena, such as a developing tank, reels, changing bag, thermometer, measuring cups, etc. And what I can't find there, I'll look around for cheap substitutes.

One concern I have is about how to keep my negatives dust free while drying. I googled "DIY drying cabinet" and found some ideas on using garment bags. I'll have to further research that because I see stuff about a fan/ humidifier/ light bulb/ hair dryer and I'm not quite sure what is used for what quite yet. And I do have a locker in my garage, maybe I can use that somehow.

I cannot wait for the day I have my own darkroom, where I can work at my own discretion. Printing is such a delight. And I'd love to have the ability to experiment on my own. At school, I don't feel quite comfortable to be as expressive as I'd like myself to be.
