You'll need short-grain rice to make sushi rice.
Wash it well 'till the water looks clear, then let it drain in a colander for 30-60 minutes.
Boil the rice for a while in a one-is-to-one ratio of water or 'till the water's an inch above the rice's level (throw in some kelp, too, if you can get your hands on it, but you should remove it just right before the water boils. or add a couple drops of sake or mirin, if you can get your hands on them, too) let it simmer, take it off heat and let it cool down for a while.
In a bowl mix one tablespoon of sushi vinegar per cup of rice you have (roughly twice the number of uncooked rice you used) then spread it on a tin foil to cool it (Fanning it would cool it even more quickly!) down to room temp.
If you can't find sushi vinegar anywhere, here's a quick DIY sushi vinegar recipe:
1/3 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
mix them all in a saucepan 'till everything's good and diluted
