A Norwegian lesson out of the ordinary
Our Norwegian teacher fainted today...!
She said she didn't feel well and asked the class to behave extraordinary calm and quiet... She started the roll call, and was half way to the end when she stopped and leant her back against the chair while closing her eyes. The class became more and more quiet... Then she opened her eyes again, and continued the roll call, but with greater problems. She quitted again, and rested her head and arms against the desk in front of her. It was weird. I suggested to my friend that we maybe should go after somebody. But then our teacher suddenly fell sidewards onto the floor.
We were quick, though. A couple of girls ran to her at once, while some other of us ran after grown-ups. The situation was quite weird, a bit creepy, and seemed in a way fake. We were told to leave the classroom, and were updated from time to time.
She regained consciousness after a little while, and sat up by herself. The ambulance came, and she went to the doctor.
Our poor teacher! She wanted to continue the lecturing after she "woke up"! She's that kind of person who hates staying at home by reason of sickness, but now she needs to be home until Thursday...
This incident made me think about two things:
* That I, when she fainted, actually didn't know exactly what to do, the right way to react, (that's maybe why I ran after some grown-ups instead) - what if I come into a more serious situation later, which require me to act even more quicker? What if it is about life and death? Hello! I even wondered if it was the right thing to give an unconscious person water!! My knowledge is really imperfect at this field...
* That some people don't know they're own limitations and that this could harm them very badly some day (even though everything went very well this time, after all...)

Good things happens
During the last week, a lot of good things have happened.
E.g. last Friday, when I had a long talk about Jesus, God, the gospel, sin, the Old Testament, the New Testament (and the difference), ++, with a good friend.
Or Tuesday, when the school year's first praying meeting gathered six people - twice the number of people normally gathered last year.
Or yesterday, when a girl I often talk to at the bus, came together with me to 3pStation, our church's youth group.
Or today, when New Generation at my school arranged a stand in the canteen, which made our school mates in a good mood, and moreover gave a friend of me the ability to preach the gospel to some of her class mates.
