"We're now going to move onto the calculation part of the lesson. But to do this I want to make one thing clear; we're all not perfect. I don't expect you to be perfect in your calculations, but I do expect you to try." Josephina explained, laying out the ground rules for calculations. "I understand math isn't all your strongpoints, which is also completely fine. But again, just try. Focus and concentrate, as there is no rush. We'll be starting with the Life Path and Destiny numbers at first."
Flicking her wand at the board, more writing appeared;
Life Path Number
DOB: 2 April 2044
4 + 2 + (2+0+4+4)
4 + 2 + 10
4 + 2 + 1
Life path number = 7
Expression/Destiny Number
Full Name: Josephina Faith Hadley
J O S E P H I N A______F A I T H___H A D L E Y
1+6+1+5+7+8+9+5+1 6+1+9+2+8 8+1+4+3+5+7
(43) + (26) + (28)
7 + 8 + 10
7 + 8 + 1
16/7
Expression/Destiny Number = 7
"Special considerations are to please make sure you add and reduce each component up first before totaling. For instance, I added all the numbers up in my first name, Josephina, to be 43 and then reduced it to 7 before adding that to the reduced digit for my middle and last names," Fina explained, pointed it out to the students. While chances are it shouldn't make a difference, it was best to be consistent and follow that format regardless.
"One more thing before you go ahead and calculate the Destiny and Life Path Numbers. I want you to each partner up with someone you do not know at all or very well. I don't want to see best friends or significant others be partners. And I want you to exchange names and birthdates and calculate each others' numbers." Why? Because it is easy to calculate your number and make it fit for you, but calculating someone else's is a whole different ballpark. "Any questions, please ask me."

OOC Notes: - Find a partner you don't know
- Exchange full names and birthdates
- Calculate your partners' expression and life path numbers
- Read the textbook interpretation and determine accuracy
- When done, do NOT chat
Unless you want MORE points lost *eyes* I won't hesitate to do it either, but rather sit quietly / don't post and wait for me to post up the next two numbers - Don't go ahead and calculate the other numbers [in here] before I post up instructions.
- Have fun with the interpretations!
- Questions? Ask me ^__^
- Finally, there is a good chance I won't be back to continue with the lesson until Midnight EST tonight, the 13th? 5am GMT on the 14th, so no rush. <3
Melissa watched Professor Hadley after the four people had spoken well what ever they were. She had no idea how to do this, it was like she forgot what she read, well she didn't read a lot of this book, she was that good with maths. She didn't even know why she was here, she was going to fail. Bad.
She wouldn't ask for help, she doesn't roll like that. She always wanted to do things for herself. She normally didn't ask for help, she felt like she was wasting the teacher's time and effort. But she rose from her seat and looked around the room, god DADA was easier than Arithmancy, but her view could change.
