Sociology "paper" - now with grammarcheck and paint bottle :)

This page took 3 hours to paint and a lot of waiting on people who would inexplicably bail on me before I got desperate today and asked the fine folks at linguaphiles. It deliberately imitates the appearance of Agricola's ABC-Kirja ABC-Kiria (fine, durned linguistics students), the first book written in Finnish.

Oh man. If painting the preamble pages (three) [here's another one of them] took me more than 6 hours total, I don't wanna imagine how long it will take me to write my entire manifesto in ink (1.5 pages typed) into the notebook. I did about 1/12th of the manifesto text today; it went a little faster than the other pages (since the text uses India ink instead of acrylic paint) but it didn't seem like a *lot* faster.

I need to get the entire thing done by Wednesday... AND study for two memorizing-happy exams.

Oh man. My hand's already cramped so bad.

Well, it may have taken forever, and hurts like hell, but it looks awesome. Good luck to you!

I hate to point this out but "me olemme nähnyt" is not good Finnish. It should be "me olemme nähneet".

More importantly, does it connotate the same meaning? I made some very specific requests in order to commumicate the precise sense of things.

I'm going to do some experimenting that I was meaning to do anyway, and if I find a good way to cover up mistakes with white paint and then stain the white paint back to the yellow of the paper, I'll fix it. That particular syllable is weighted badly anyway.

Okay I looked it up, yeah... odd how that typo got in. Anyhoo, this is the most random 'whiteout' I'm using - white watercolour paint mixed with a teeny bit of green tea for the off-white-yellowish colour.
