A : it's your first day of ranch. How do you feel?
B : I'm excited, and nervous, and feeling a bit sick.

--

in that context, does "sick" means ill? or kind of good excitement?
I'm a little confused because these days a lot of people, especially teenagers, use this word for good meaning.

    It means queasy. The speaker has a bit of an upset stomach brought on by nervousness.
