That was a strange experience...

In the middle of my talk about animal rights I suddenly feel the sides of my vision drop away. In home circumstances this is no good, but standing in front of a class when cold sweat runs down your back and you're wondering if you can hold yourself upright it's unbearable. So I sit down on my chair, explain to the kids (8 very girly fifth graders) my blood pressure dropped, and that we're not going to do the planned discussion, but they should prepare it in writing.

"Miss, I have that too sometimes. I feel very weak and then I have cramps." Loud Mouthed Maroccon Girl should be in secondary school already. I'm not surprised she knows all about cramps.
"Yep, that's the thing," I answer.
"You should eat some sugar, miss." Ah, my sweet girls, they have the solution at the ready. I reach into my rucksack for my cookies. Eating one already gets me back on my feet.

Later, when class ends, their form teacher calls to me if everything is alright. Yep it is again, but I can believe the kids can get a bit of a scare when their teacher suddenly says she isn't feeling too well.
At least I didn't faint. Last week there was an incident with lots of blood and a kid being carted away in the ambulance. The first aid teacher took one look at the problem, and fainted on the spot.
