When you walk into the room, you can immediately see Alaine's office is furnished to give off a feeling of spaciousness. Her desk is positioned at a right angle from the window, with chairs on both sides.
There are several potted plants strewn about the sides of the room, and hidden among them are two large filing cabinets against the right-hand wall, and opposite of those are several large bookshelves, one filled with books about biology, the other with books about archaeology. There's a large globe with an electric cord dangling from it on top of one.
Next to the two bookshelves is a lower cabinet with glass doors containing all kinds of bits of what seems to be junk, but which is actually a collection of small archaeological objects - a pipe from medieval Europe, potsherds from an excavation in Syria, a plate from an American frontier settlement, chunks of salt from the Dead Sea.
There's also replicas of more or less famous artifacts in there, llike a small-scale Rosetta's Stone, a copy of a Norse sword. Many more such objects can be found in nooks and crannies between the books, on top of cabinets, if one looks properly.
The center of the room, from the door to the desk, is empty, showing the plush, soft carpet, which is a creamy white. Easily stained, but Alaine likes the colour and texture. She actually has a bottle of detergent just in case, stashed in the bottom desk drawer.
Also in her desk are some stacks of blank and lineated paper, spare stationery, a feather duster and several packets of mint puffs, which tend to end strewn about the drawer.
All her files are kept in the filing cabinets, which have locks on them, but they're rarely locked. Unless students will try to burglarize them, she won't lock them. The filing cabinets contain reference papers, mock exams, students' essays and exam papers, and more things like that. She also has some copies of large maps in here.
