When I first learned of my assignment to teach in the deep south, my first thought was, "oh, I mean, um...what?" followed by a, "hm, where's Mississippi again...east of the Mississippi River? West?" My thoughts oscillated between these two for about an hour until I decided to Google "Bugs in Mississippi", and it didn't take me very long to see that I shouldn't have done that. I mean, how many Yankees would ever think roaches, black widow spiders, and armadillos would be included in their day-to-day living? I'll bet none. Two things are for sure for sure: one, this will be a great adventure, and two, I'll be spending money on pest control.
