A Vow Renewal
Had a slow start to my morning, which is good considering my Daily Focus Word for Saturday is Slow.
Got up around 9:30, got the fire started in the woodstove, did some writing and some meditation, and now I'm plotting out my Vow Renewal ceremony, which I'll do this evening, and involves fire, chatting with deities, and eating lots of yummy food.

Scheduled weekly reminder that weekends are slow around Farcaster, so if your engagement is down the next couple of days, that's why.
You can either use the slowdown to step away from social for a bit, or you can use it to dig into some channels you don't usually visit and surface some new great content and make some new connections with the other weekenders.

Last paper of the semester is done and turned in. I am officially on winter break!
Last assignment for the semester is due today - a paper on the ethics of neuroscience for the neuroethics class.
Then I get to dive into some personal/content projects again!
Next year is all about finding a balance with schoolwork so I'm not constantly cramming it all into the last minute, and still have room for those personal/content projects.

Weekly AMA!
It's exactly what it sounds like.
Ask me anything.
About content creation.
About my weird life as a self-vowed hermit nun devoted to a made up deity.
About going back to college to finish a bachelor's degree in middle age not for a career pivot, but for fun.
About anything you've seen me cast about.
Or really, about anything at all.

I took all the feedback I got on my philosophy papers for the semester, fed it to ChatGPT and had it design a mini-course for me to make improvements between semester, cuz I'm taking a metaphysics class with the same professor next semester, and I'm determined to get a 100 out of him at least once.
He's tough.
I like that.

So close to being done with the semester.
Have one exam to do today and a paper due tomorrow, then I am free for the next three weeks!
So, so ready for a break.
And my word for 2025 is Balance, cuz I gotta figure out a better balance and pacing for study versus content projects.

This week I built...
Still working on LoreChain, by onchain collaborative publishing platform project.
Still in the learning phase, and I'm almost done with fall semester classes, so I'll be able to dive in even deeper for the next three weeks.
Focusing on learning basic smartchain contracts and other integrations that will be necessary to the functioning of the platform. Lots of reading and coding and testing and figuring out where I screwed it up, rinse and repeat.
This project is going to be a major focus for me in 2025 - hoping to have a beta open by mid-year!

For anyone who was interested in reading my paper on Jediism for Anthropology of Religion, I published it on my digital garden today :D

This was my final couple paragraphs of my A paper on Jediism.
I've got to make some formatting changes to make to it, then I'll be putting it on my digital garden for public consumption.

I got 100 on my final paper on Jediism for Anthropology of Religion.
I was hoping for at least a B 🤣
I tend to be really critical of my own writing and forget they're grading based on an assumption that it's all 20-year-olds writing the papers 😆

I am *almost* done with the semester.
Working on the last paper for political philosophy this weekend, have an exam Tuesday, and the last paper for neuroethics is due Wednesday.
I am *so* ready for a break.

@verafaye Your word for 2025 is Identity.

Time is weird.
I was just picking my topic for anthropology of religion a few weeks ago, and tonight, I just turned the final paper in.

Today in things I sent to be graded...
"...it's pretty cool we can manage to figure out reality at all with the evolutionary hackjob of brain systems we're running on!"
