I need a 'get-me-started' printing list

What I have.

-Bathroom with sink, hopper and tub/shower.
-Very old but functional 35mm enlarger. Some weird Japanese off-brand I got from ebay three years ago in anticipation of this. Haven't had it out of the shipping box since then.
-Kodak Indicator Stop Bath
-Kodafix Fixing agent
-Timer
-Thermometer
-Flash/floodlight with red automotive lens repair tape

What I plan to get.
-Paper Developer (Dektol?)
-4- 12x16 trays
-Tongs
-Paper (which do I get for a beginner with room to grow)

What I need.

. . .

Bear in mind that I will be on an uber-severe budget but I AM GOING TO DO THIS. I have been not printing for long enough. Time to get creative. So I need to know what to get rounded up. Thanks for all your help everybody.

Also, is there a cheap and easy solution to be able to print 6x4.5 or 6x6 negs with this 35mm enlarger?

Also, I am planning on contact printing 4x5 negs. LF enlarger comes when I win the lotto and have my new house built around my dream darkroom.
