First Time, 1 week, bugs already?!

So, I decided one day while sitting around lazily enjoying some good ol' middies that the seeds and the bag of Miracle Grow potting mix that I used to plant some houseplants would go well together. Of course, at this point I didn't know Potting Mix and added spray nutrients designed for flowering sprayed almost daily (diluted and applied in very small amounts) worked against the plants...probably why 1 out of 9 germinated. But thats another story - live and learn, theres always seedy mids around to grab more from.

So I was looking around through the soil in the plastic cup with a small (maybe .25 inches) hole in the bottom of it to drain that the little plant is in, and I noticed that there are these little tiny tiny tiny white things which almost look like maggots crawling through the soil. When I say tiny, I mean so tiny I probably couldn't render them with a camera. But they're definately there, and they sorta move around like a cross between a maggot and a worm. They're about as thick as a strand of hair, and maybe a mm or two long, I mean TINY.

Plant spends a lot of time indoors but when its nice out and sunny, I throw it out back since its so small, directly in the sun on a chair.

The hell is infesting my week old soil?!

Anybody? Anybody at all? Are these little bastards getting stoned at my expense? Are they going to eat me? Are they going to turn into blue monkeys like in, "Evolution"? Did my seeds come from a meteor?
