Love it or leave it

The second week at MIC is called "Love it or leave it week". One of the last enjoyable weeks, in my view - since it is followed by "men and health week", "yoga week" or "breast cancer week" and other disease weeks. Did you notice the slight obsession with the topic health?
During this "love it or leave it week", you may attend courses like horse riding (this year cancelled though), taekwondo, yoga, aerobic etc. and then decide if ... well... if you love it or leave it. The favourite courses among girls are "nail art" and "fake tan". I'd be glad though if the latter course was abolished. The prospect of even more tan addicts running around Limerick really upsets me. Some Irish cannot accept their pale skin - they generously powder their faces with much too dark make-up or use tanning creams. The results are quite irritating sometimes. About two weeks ago, a woman (and we are talking of women here, not of girls!) crossed me in a hurry. I immediately knew that she had only one bulb in her bathroom, probably somehow fixed to the bottom edge of her mirror. Want to know how I came to this conclusion? Well, her complexion was chocolate brown, apart from a snow white, 2 centimetre (!) wide stripe around her hair line. These areas must have been in the shade when she had looked into the mirror - so, one bulb. And today, I passed a girl that looked like a negative: her hair so fair that it was almost white, and her face so dark that it was almost.... mmh, not really black, but a very dark brown.
So - what I'd suggest: Irish girls! Love it, BUT leave it!
