2 newbies

So week 2 of class. 2 new students in class. One male (B) one female (C). C - great addition. Very quick learner - got up to speed very quickly and integrated right in with the rest of us. B - not so much. He was an F bomb dropper from the get go. And really aggressive and confrontational. He really changed the dynamics of our group ... I don't like him at all (can you tell)

We played this really embarassing game - really to get us to react quickly and save each other. One person in the middle sings a song - when a "related" song popped into your head you tapped the person in the middle on the shoulder and took their place and sang your song and on and on. Everyone in the circle sings along with you or if they don't know the words, they can beat-box or accompany you in whatever way they can. So it is going along rather well until B jumps in and sings "Let's all get drunk and screw" We all accompanied with gasps and uncomfortable laughter until our instructor jumped in and saved the game.

Ya know that conversation game I talked about last week? Well when he got his first topic he decided that "dentists suck" so let's talk about something else ... little did he know that one of the students is a dental student. Nice going!

Then we did a new scene game where we did not play ourselves. E, our instructor, gave us a location and whatever we said was true. So B get in a scene with R - the guy mentioned last week. The location - on a yacht. B says something like "ah - i love being out here on the fn water - it's fn gorgeous out here" R has no idea how to react - as you can imagine. so it was a very uncomforatble scene. eventually B tells R that he follows all of his financial advice which is how he got the yacht. R tells B that he thinks that B should build a sidewalk on the ocean so he can get off of the yacht and back onto solid ground. B says what are you fn crazy? I thing a better use of money would be on a shrink for you and your crazy ideas. E then reminded him that he had said that he follows ALL of R's financial advice. So the scene starts to play that way until B asks R what else he should do with his money and R says I am thinking of a rain drop escalator. B gets this look on his face that says he is about to go off on R for his crazy ideas again and E calls scene just in the nic of time.

I am planning on getting to class early next week and asking E to address language and name calling and hope that B takes the hint.
