A thoughtful person suggested to me that what lies at the intersection of a lot of my interests and experience is public health. This idea has been whirling around in my head for a week now, coalescing and congealing, vis a vis what to finish my undergraduate degree in. I finished only half of school before I dropped out unceremoniously in the fall of 2012. The trouble is, with a semester's worth of Fs, what's my GPA like? I found that University of Colorado Denver considers transfer students with GPAs as low as 2.4 (2.0 in special circumstances).

I ordered a copy of my transcript yesterday, and I have 2.78! It's not a very good grade, and I'm not proud of it, but happy that it doesn't automatically preclude me from transferring. The ball is ever more rolling.

edit: All my public health or otherwise insightful hubskiers, anything to look out for? My reasons for pursuing the major is

(a) I love public policy, behavioral science, sociology, economics, and evolutionary psych (even if the latter can sometimes get you into trouble).

(b) one dream job of mine is to work for AmeriCorps NCCC, the service program I loved. And after working there, an even larger goal of mine is to make a year of community service a national cultural expectation of young people.

(c) the BS version of the degree is a pre-med track, something that I also think is interesting (in the safe, maybe-I'll-be-a-doctor-one-day kind of way).

(d) I love Colorado, Denver particularly.

(e) I want to, need to, finish college.
