I ain't feelin' too well. Yesterday, I woke up with a tummyache. I slept for most o' the day and couldn't eat nothin' 'till after dinnertime! I watched a movie and then I went to bed. This mornin', I woke up at 4:30 and couldn't sleep but felt just fine. I didn't even stop to think that maybe I just felt good 'cause of the medicine I had eaten. So I went to school. At the beginnin' of my first class, I felt fine. "It's strange," I said to my friend, "I ain't even tired!" But by the end of first period, I felt so sleepy. I wanted to lay down on the floor and nap. But I couldn't. I had to go to choir. In choir, the teacher makes us stand up and sit down and such. I felt like a zombie, standin' and sittin' with my eyes half closed. The next class was worse. I went to math feelin' like I was gonna fall over. I did my work but could barely keep my eyes open. At last, it was lunchtime.
At lunch, while all my friends were talkin' and eatin' and laughin', I sat there eatin' and lookin' off into the distance. My eyes wouldn't open all the way and my mouth just wasn't workin'. Next was Spanish. Now, I'd like to see a genius try to speak a different language as tired as I was! I just hoped that the teacher wouldn't call on me. I was afeared of what kind of gingabagarble would come outa' my mouth if I tried to think of an answer. P.E. I don't even remember, besides almost gettin' whacked with a volleyball durin' a game 'cause I was spacin' out. Biology is just a blur. Then my mom picked me up and made me chick'n noodle stew. Then I had two creamsickles to stop the pain in my throat.
Now I'm 'bout to get ready to sleep. Havn't decided if I'm gonna go to school tomorrow, or if I ain't gonna. If I have got a fever, then I won't go. But if I don't then I will. It's just so hard to miss school and have to make up all of my work! Oh, well, if I'm sick I don't want to make my friends sick! We'll see.
Oh my goodness Grace I love this! I read it to my mom and she thought it was hilarious!
