This post is really short. My apologies.
Since I wrote the last entry regarding my love for french bookstores, I have had a much more exciting experience at the same location. A few girls from the program and I went there to check out poetry and cook books, and the trip was rather uneventful until we got to the checkout counter. All of a sudden, the cashier's eyes rolled back and in a moment that seemed to nearly go in slow motion, she fell backwards and hit the ground. For a few seconds we all just stood there in shock, taking a moment to realize and wrap our heads around the fact that this woman had just fainted, and then it took us another moment to realize that none of us knew how to say "faint" in French or how to call an ambulance in this country. Nevertheless, we managed to get help for the woman, and she came to soon after, but I remain curious about how she has been doing since then.
