Informal Diction

                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.
