In 2020 it used to be the case that you could send in an extension form explaining your circumstances and they'd grant it without needing medical documentation, but sadly they changed that rule - you need signed proof from a professional for them to even consider it. I did still contact my instructor to explain. Hopefully he's a bit more lenient with allowing me to pass, at least! And I was able to earn a couple more credit points from taking part in research surveys.
It was quite a blow to my confidence as I've never struggled so much on one assignment, but it was also an important wake-up call, and I've decided I'll be studying part-time next semester to prioritise my health and wellbeing over graduating faster! So I have a feeling things will improve from here on out. ^ ^
And I'm glad to hear you're doing fine! The changing seasons must be quite beautiful over there. My family has never celebrated Halloween much, apart from my suggestions to watch a scary movie! Nobody else where I live celebrates it either. It's unfortunate because I think all the traditions around getting dressed up, pumpkin carving, setting up decorations and sharing candy sounds like so much fun! I absolutely will take part in all that some day, but for now, I will have to make do with sweets and scary films! What are your plans for Halloween, Sam?
Also, thank you for the compliments - I love PC's customisation because it's a quick, fun way for me to get my "creativity fix", which I suppose is why I change things up very often! Hopefully I'll have some of those banner drawings ready to share in November. :)
