Ah, my mistake. I thought you were speed scanlating (AKA I don't care if it looks like a Xerox, I want it now). I only skimmed your post so I might have missed that explanation. I actually learned how to scanlate by using babelfish to re-scanlate a project back from German. Of course, it was my luck that a week later I learned what scanlations were and found hordes of English scanlations. -.-;;
Since you're sharing these, even if just with friends, I'd put an image at the beginning of the chapter saying you're practicing scanlating, so if it ends up some place like 4chan, even the lowest forms of life will get what you're doing. I'm more worried that you'll do a manga later on that "belongs" to a group who freaks when people share their releases outside their IRC channel, etc. I'm sure they'll throw a fit.
I actually have the fortune of living off campus. The cat fight stories I hear... *eye twitch*
