Again, the sounds of the chalkboard went in one ear and out the other. Tina was more concerned with the words written on the board than the noises made by the actual writing process. She quickly jotted down the list in her notes, looking up from the page as Schmoe mentioned rooms. Well yes, that was an important consideration, but she wasn't surprised no one brought it up. He'd asked for something unique to non magiques, and that… wasn't.*

Tina listened to the instructions for the activity, relieved to hear they had the option to work alone. Yeah… she didn't do group work. She could do it faster on her own. She looked at the list of room choices on the board. This activity was going to be right up her alley! For a long time, she'd dreamed of having a home of her own and how she might furnish it. Now there was just the question of which room to pick. In the end she went with a room that wasn't listed on the board: the living room. It was the room for which she had the clearest idea of a design.

Having decided on a room, Tina went up to the professor's desk to get a poster sized post-it. Why did they need to be so big? If they were going to actually draw their room designs, she could understand the size, but if they were just listing, it seemed a bit much. But it wasn't worth arguing over. She took the giant post-it back to her seat, arranging it as neatly as she could over her desk, and picked up her pen. Now what would she put in her living room?

Tina's style in furniture was simple and multifunctional. She'd need a sofa for sure, something in a neutral color so it could match a wide variety of aesthetics. And for the material… probably leather because it would last a long time and be fairly easy to clean, and ooh! How about a sofa with a pull-out bed, in case she ever had guests? Yes, that would be perfect! What else? A couple of armchairs that matched the sofa for additional guest seating and footstools to go with each chair, but not just any footstools! She wanted the footstools that doubled as storage cubes. She wanted to get as much use out of her furniture as possible!

That was probably enough seating, so what else did she need? Tina thought for a minute. If there were chairs and a sofa, there should be tables too. How about a couple of end tables? One on each side of the sofa… something in a dark wood that wouldn't be too loud - and shelves! They needed to have shelves built in too. Should she also include a coffee table? Most living rooms had one, but she thought it might make the room seem too cluttered, especially given the fact that she'd probably be adding more furniture to her "room". She decided to go without the coffee table and include an extra end table between the two chairs instead.

Now that she had the basics covered, Tina could focus on adding some more personal touches to her living room. She definitely wanted a bookshelf - what else would you expect from a bookworm like her? It would be a big one in the same color wood as the end tables, and she'd have an entertainment stand that could hold a television and a stereo too. Then her thoughts turned to things she could use to decorate that weren't, strictly speaking, considered furniture, like wall art, curtains, pillows, and maybe an area rug. Oh, and lamps! She'd almost forgotten about those. Let's see… something with a metal base; that way it would be less likely to break if it got knocked over.

As she finished writing, Tina gave her list a quick look over. That was a good start! Maybe she'd think of things to add to it if she had time later.
