Time had definitely been wasted, and it was down to the wire now. AJ didn't leave herself much time for error, and error was definitely bound to happen. She had managed to do okay the first lesson so maybe this really wouldn't be that bad. All they had to do was compare notes right? That should be easy enough. Well... easier than last time anyways. Putting quill to parchment, she gave it a go.

SPOILER!!: Notes


One:
Class: generator of all numbers, not actually considered a number; characterized reason
Really: Beginning, independence, innovation, leadership
Thoughts: I think we thought it is not considered a number because one means the beginning. It's almost like being born. It's a fresh start.

TWO:
Class: first female number; characterized opinion and division
Really: Harmony, unity, relationships, collaboration, duality, humans/human magic
Thoughts: Females are usually more concerned with relationships and duality, and in my opinion all around more harmonious.

THREE:
Class: first male number, combination via addition of 1 (unity) and 2 (division); characterized harmony
Really: Imagination, positivism, playfulness, creative, expression, house elves/house elf magic, complex thought
Thoughts: This is a masculine number and it is stronger than the previous two numbers. I think that is where the complex thought comes into play.

FOUR:
Class: second female number, represented space and matter; characterized by justice and order
Really: Building, formation, hard work, endurance, sober-mindedness, practicality, organization.
Thoughts: Another female number and I think that this plays well with a woman's characteristics. Females are normally more organized. Justice and order goes hand in hand with organization so we were pretty spot on.

FIVE:
Class: union of first male and female numbers; characterized by love and marriage
Really: Change, transition, progressive thinking, resourceful, freedom, versatility, physical world, physical touch.
Thoughts: This is the first time that male and female numbers unite so the thought of marriage as the class thought it very similar to the physical touch and change that the number five signifies.

SIX:
Class: female; characterized by creation, originality, or beginnings
Really: Balance, nurturing, service-oriented, responsibility/duty, family focus, domestic and work issues, stability
Thoughts: Another female number, and with this one I think that where the class was thinking of beginnings it tied in with responsibility and duty.

SEVEN
Class: male; characterized by conflict or individuality
Really: Analysis, research, solitude, wisdom, spiritual focus, investigative, mysticism, magic
Thoughts: This one seems like opposites to me. When I think of conflict I don't see spiritual focus or wisdom.

Eight:
Class: female; characterized by compromise, cooperation, or balance
Really: Authority, finances, business, success, material wealth, self mastery, complex thought/reasoning, fluidity, movement
Thoughts: I think the class was spot on with this one as well. You definitely need to be able to compromise and have a balance when you are in a position with authority and deal with finances.

Nine:
Class: male; characterized by peace, stability, or enlightenment
Really: Endings, tolerance, metamorphasis, cosmic, teaching, global awareness, perfection, power/strength, short-lived, immediacy
Thoughts: Peace, stability and enlightenment all need to be hand in order to be a good teacher in anything in life.

Ten:
Class: unites 1, 2, 3, and 4, represents the idea of everything; characterized by the cosmos
Really: Renewal rebirth, karmic completion, mastery, beginning again with consciousness
Thoughts: I think the idea of rebirth makes sense because we would need to unite several numbers to be able to "begin again"


Whew. She was finally done. In no way way she sure that she was right, but she had done it. Not to mention too, that this was the most notes that she had even taken in her life. Hopefully this would pay off for her.
