goodbye, 2009

Tagged Under : ,

Goodbye, best year ever! Best year ever? Oh yes. And I’ve had a lot of good years, so that’s saying something. I mean, come on. I went to the Bering Sea and got paid to do this:

that is me

And then I went to Germany and finally started to develop a taste for beer, which seems like an important step on the road to adulthood:

And I did lots of other cool stuff, too, like knitting and going to U2 concerts and discovering an obsession with dictionaries.

So, what excitement will 2010 bring? I know I plan to write more stories about science, spend a lot of time near home, sing a bunch, knit a sweater for my mom, and generally enjoy myself. I also reserve the right to add adventures as the opportunities present themselves. Read along with me, ok?

About Helen Fields

I'm a freelance writer living in Washington, D.C. I like to knit,sing, dance, and write about science. Only one of these pays the bills. A few years ago I spent six weeks on an icebreaker in the Bering Sea and two months in Berlin on a journalism fellowship, and who knows - I could find some more adventures sometime.
