Trouble in Paradise
We can’t say being in our group is without its pressure. We’ve all found different ways to deal with it – Melissa has fits of hysterical laughter, Aylon compulsively buys tighter and tighter suits, Obinna obsessively suggests group-hugs and has his hair turned into a piece of modern art.
However, not everyone found it so easy to deal with the pressure. Recently we have discovered that when tensions aren’t addressed they can lead to distressing outbursts and rifts in the group. As a team we have managed to overcome these and have discovered it is in fact possible to socialise outside our Thursday sessions. (That’s not to say we will, just that we know that option is open).
After a couple of tense sessions we decided we’d been working too hard. Planning a three week trip to a beautiful African country is tiring you know! So we decided to let out hair down, really go wild and Michael had the perfect idea. Forget drugs. Forget sex and wild naked orgies. Forget rock and roll. The new craze shaking the teenage world is…you guessed it… MOLECULE PUZZLES.
(This resulted in the afore mentioned cubist piece de resistance: ‘L’hair de Obinna’. If we’d only had some marbles, he could have been a walking Ker Plunk...).
