Finally Moving Toward My Comprehensive Exam

Yesterday, my professor asked me about my academic status. I told her I’d already finished all my subjects, and as far as I know, the only thing left for me is the comprehensive exam. Life just got super busy for me — work, resignation papers, and then all the documents I had to handle for migration. I finished all my academic requirements during the first trimester of SY 2024–2025, but after that, I never got any update about the comp exam schedule. I even messaged my professor before, but I guess she was just too busy and missed it. She told me yesterday to contact the registrar, so I asked for my academic evaluation, and they sent it right away. Now I’m about to forward it to my professor. She also mentioned that the comprehensive exam will be held next month, so if everything works out, I’m hoping to take it then. Have you ever had school or important plans put on hold because life just got too busy?

That’s a lot to deal with! I had to stop taking some college classes when my mom got sick. It was too much for my dad to do by himself so I helped out with her.

@annierose Well, it was a long time ago, and my mom has passed away. I’m no longer in college, so it’s evened out.

@AmbiePam It sounds like you did so much for your family back then, and I’m glad things have evened out for you now.

Yes, family comes first. I hope things eventually got easier for you and your family. It’s amazing how much we end up juggling when life gets intense.

Hmm... interesting... though I don't understand. Is this online school or something? Or some sort of program where you choose your own time?

It’s actually a university program, but they offer online courses. Since life got pretty hectic for me, I hadn’t been keeping track either. Hopefully things smooth out now that I’m coordinating with the registrar and my professor.
