I haven't approached UCD with a heartfelt petition, but I'm not really sure what I'd petition for. I already asked verbally to switch majors and was denied. They will probably let me back in as an open campus student to finish what I started, but that has its own can of worms in the form of a weird part-time student for scholarships and financial aid. I wanted to go on to grad school afterword so that may be a silver lining of slogging through my past mistakes. As far as the similar occupations go I have the requirements for basically any of them with the glaring exception of a healthy GPA. The 1.7 may be under/overstated as I am not actually sure without looking at my transcript (I still owe the college due to the aforementioned pit of depression). I'm taking steps to remedy that too, but it will take some time. For the first time in months I feel like I have a clear head and am ready to correct my mistakes.
On a totally unrelated note I find all of the signatures sort of intimidating as well as reassuring. All of these exceptionally knowledgeable people are happily throwing their wisdom my way and I deeply appreciate it. Thank you all.
In March 2007 my signature looked like this:
