SPOILER!!: Ariana's Calculations

Ariana wasn't sure if she'd done it right... sentences were a bit confusing, even short ones. She showed it to the professor to make sure. "Professor Hadley, is this right?"

And the students were already setting their minds to figuring out the sentence thing!! Awesome!

"Yes, that is perfect. A bit short, but as you're learning, sometimes it's better to go short and sweet just to get the basics down." Hadley nodded at the girl. And if it was true, then the statement wasn't surprising in the least of a Ravenclaw.

SPOILER!!: More numbers ^_^

Done with this one as well. Oh wait. "Professor?" She suddenly asked, raising her hand. "Any sentence we want?" She wrote one already, but she could do some more.

"Any sentence you want," Josephina said, smiling down upon the young Slytherin and doing some quick mental calculations. "But just try to make sure their accurate. You might wish to calculate each word separately to avoid errors, even though it doesn't make much a difference in these exercises. Such as how your total for that sentence should actually be 73."

ooc: okay. I'm going to sleep; feel free to continue practicing calculations of sentences and/or moving onto the complications of phrases. Will continue tomorrow, but y'all are doing great =D
