Considering the road ahead...

Goal: Didn't make one today

Today was pretty laid back.  I seem  to be in a reflective state of mind.  Yesterday, I assisted my former employer in training a new research team for a project they will be doing among Latino Males. The project will be facilitated out o Bienestar, a service agency in East Los Angeles.  They will be monitring medication adherence and and asking various stress related questions to 200 Latino Males living w/ HIV/AIDS.  My assistance was sought because I was apart of an earlier project which focused on African American Males.  Aside from having overall knowledge regarding the project design, I am versed in the study survey, the computer application, and other details from working directly w/ clients.  The day proved to be successful, yet long.

I actually felt good being able to assist the new research team.  It also felt good being needed and having the ability to perform.  I must admit, my former employer did all they could to get me to the training (provided transportation to and from, provided lunch, off course I will bill them for the time, and sprung for dinner), but it was worth it.  

There is a strong possibility that I will return to my former employer to facilitate a new research study.  I am a bit anxious about returning, but I think that is normal.  Right????  There are many factors I need to consider, but knowing I have a supportive environment (i.e. work hours, etc.) to return to makes some portions of my decision process easy.

Man.  I feel as though life has really thrown me a curve ball this time.  There's a lot I am not sayin, a lot I will never say so let's just say, this is one of those cross roads I initially talked about.
