Should I really be a Lifeguard?

I had a scary experience on the Nantes version of a subway/streetcar yesterday and I was on my way to Ikea and Decathlon (like sporting life). It was morning rushour so the tram was really busy. I was standing and all of a sudden this girl sitting down near me (in her 20's) either fainted or had a seizure...I'm not quite sure. Her head fell back and she made some weird gurgling noises and everyone sitting beside her got up and made room for her to lie down. The woman beside her reacted really quickly and helped her lie down. If my french was better I would have tried to help a little but all I did was watch. So she regained consciousness pretty quickly and the woman asked her if she had eaten breakfast; she said no, so she gave her this sugar cube or something like that. I didn't quite understand what was said between them after that so I'm not really sure if the girl new what happened to her. The girl sat up but said she was really hot so she took her jacket off and laid back down. Someone asked her when she was getting off and it was in the next fews stops.

So as soon as she was fine, sitting back up, and everyone on the tram was back to doing their own thing I started feeling really dizzy. I have a history of fainting but this hasn't really happened to me for a while. All of a sudden I got really lightheaded and I knew that I was going to faint. I wasn't exactly sure about what I should do. It was really crowded and I was still standing up so I asked someone if I could take their place to sit down. I started getting really hot as well and I stripped off my jacket and sweater. I was sweating like crazy and I'm sure I was pale as a ghost. I sat with my eyes closed trying really hard not to faint. This woman asked me if I wanted her to call 15, which is the number for an ambulance here. I said no and that I would be fine. I wasn't sure if I should get off the tram or not but I just sat there until I felt better. Eventually I felt normal again and I was almost at the end of the line where my destination was.

Saturday there was a trip with the other Canadiens to Guérande. Guérande is known for its sea salt but also for its fortification which is still intact around the village from the middle ages. Afterwards we went to La Côte Sauvage. We were only able to stay for 15, which sucked because it was so beautiful...it reminded me of Nova Scotia, except warmer.

Saturday was my first trip site-seeing. I went with Joanna to see the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul and the Château des Ducs de Bretagne which are both in downtown Nantes. The castle is also a museum so we went to the Anne de Bretagne exhibit. Anne de Bretagne was born in Nantes an lived in the castle. She married Charles VIII King of France, and became Queen of France. He died after hitting his head on a door frame coming inside from a tennis match so then she married Louis XII who was to be the new king since Charles died...Anne became ill in the winter 1514-1515 and passed away. Anne was very intelligent and fought very hard for the independence of Brittany. At the time she was the richest woman in Europe.
