Professor Shackleton-Clark only commented on the parchments with some errors and left those with completely correct parchments to work in peace. Even the errors made by the students were minor, and considering this was a difficult topic in Arithmancy, Macadrian was rather proud of her students.

"I think now is a good time to begin the assessment of our current Physical Transits. As I mentioned before, the Physical Transit reveals your physical well-being, as well as your experiences on the material/worldly plane at a particular time in your life. I want you to find the textbook's explanation of your current Physical Transit, write it down on your parchment, and interpret what you think it means for your life this year that it applies to.

"You remember that mine was 'A'? The textbook reads for me: You have a mental approach to practical matters. This is a period of change, activity, progress, and creativity. The letter A adds independence and leadership to your personality. There can be quite a bit of travel and possibly a change of residence. You can expect promotion and opportunities. There may also be a real breakthrough in your awareness and perspective of life."

Professor Shackleton-Clark paused before explaining how this description applied to her current life, "This says I am in a period of change and activity. I just married over the summer and have begun a new life with someone else. That is certainly a very large change to make in one's life. Quite a bit of travel? Well, our wedding was held in Ireland where my family resides and then we traveled for our honeymoon to Greece. Not to mention, I'll likely be returning to our home in the country fairly frequently on my days off, so that is even more travel.

"Do you see how I'm dissecting the textbook's description? I'd like you all to do the same for your own current Physical Transit. You may begin, and you may choose whether to keep it to yourself or share it with the class."

Okay, yeah... MacShack had made him jump, suddenly talking to him when he was all spaced out and stuff. GUH! She called him 'boy'. Shudder. "Okay, Professor," he nodded, and found a spare space on his parchment, where he wrote down his name.

Time to look around for some help.

Oh Merlin... what was she going on about now. Stupid inattention. GRRRR!
