Ouch!! Ewww!!

The other day I was packing for school and when I picked up my books, something bit me! I dropped my books and out ran a scorpion! (Called an “alacran” here.) Fortunately, it was the small black kind because apparently the larger, whiter ones are quite poisonous! I had a small point on my finger and it stung, but it wasn’t terrible—only since then, it has really itched! The worst part about it is really that scorpions are just ugly and I’m not found of seeing them near my bed, but, don’t worry, I killed it (before I shot it with a camera!)
