Greetings All -

I’m not Phillip Swallow, but I am bound for Plotinus.  I’m a Ph.D. candidate in Higher Education Administration at Really Big Institution (RBI) in Semi-Rural Nowhere.  I’m about half-way through my coursework, though a lot still remains to be done.  Presently, I work full time for the same RBI as an administrator in student success programs. 

I’ve tried to keep a blog before, but was never terribly successful at managing to write often and profoundly (the two are required, right?), so we’ll try again.

While there may be brief moments of lucidity and profundity, this will likely chronicle my administrative and academic career as I aspire towards leaving the chains of administrivia behind in search of a faculty position in about 2 1/2 years… as well as what other random schtuff I can find to babble about.  My fiancee is also in search of a faculty position in her field, so that search and struggle will likely be carried through to here as well.

With that, happy day.  See you around the blogosphere.
