I apologize, this is my misunderstanding of how the skills pages worked. I kept starting over and always had a blank page on the left and combat on the right. I accidentally scrolled my wheel while on the left (blank page) and the page scrolled up and showed me all of my skills. My issue is that, by default, the index page is scrolled so far down that I cannot see anything on it. No title, no scrollbar, none of the skills, nothing. Once I saw the skills I clicked on each one and saw it appear on the right.

Not sure if it matters or not, but I deleted the character and started fresh. As soon as I got into the game world y pegasus had combat in his journal, the same as before. I am going to go through the quests again and do what I can, then try the graduation quest again.
