People should quit talking about the university thing already. Nothing anyone says is going to make a difference. All the talk about how much harder it is to get into a local university, and how much harder it will be, is doing nothing but making people nervous and stressed out. So cut it, please.

Anyway, I think I'm definitely down with some alien disease. I'm feeling even more tired right now. Which shouldn't be happening, since I got more sleep than usual last night. Also I'm breaking out in spots and all. It's highly disturbing.

Also, there's a huge lump in between my eyebrows. It's like a massive pimple, only I don't think pimples get that large... It's about the size of a 20 cent coin across. Not to mention that it hurts a lot. It hurts when I squint. It hurts when I raise my eyebrows. It hurts in general. Now, this has me worrying.

Thus I need to settle this quickly. Do botflies live in Singapore? Because if they do... Oh man, it's so gross I don't even want to think about it. I mean, however cool the concept of parasitic larvae living in the skin of another organism is, it's really not something you want to happen to you. I've heard and read stories. About maggots being found inside people's eyelids. People cutting open boils to find fat grubs writhing in their flesh. It's nothing new, either. In survival training, they teach people all about parasitic insects and how to deal with them. Unfortunately, none of the methods seem to be very nice.

Because they generally all involve cutting open your skin to get the larvae out.

So do botflies live around here? I sure hope they don't, because that would really suck for me right now.

Although on the bright side, it would be a really interesting story to tell after it's all done with. I have faith in our medical industry.
