Another holiday

Believe it or not, I am going on the third consecutive vacation of this season to Bangladesh. Initially, I was supposed to go to Darjeeling in India, the second attempt since last year. However, due to the unstable political situation and planned nation wide strike, we concluded that traveling by road was risky. Besides, my fried that I am traveling with is going back to Japan for good next week, and we cannot be stranded.
So, we considered some options that we could take given the 4 day holiday, and came to a decision that going to Dhaka may be the best. I have never been there, so quite excited.
I just moved to a new place, so things are still crazy at home, but why not? I took Friday and Monday off, but the work is extremely busy at a moment. I just realized that my next 2 weeks are completely booked up. I am on a recruitment duty of evaluating exams for new staff and on three different interview panels. I also have my own project to manage, which requires me to coordinate hiring 4 positions and doing RFP (request for proposals) on a research/ survey activity among many other things. I am behind in many assignments, and I feel burnt out. Anyhow, I will try not to think about this and have fun this weekend.
Thinking about my future has been also occupying my mind a bit as well. I have now less than 8 months of the contract left with the current position. Need to think about the next steps, apply for jobs, asking myself what do you want in life? Where do you want to be? Do you like working for the UN? How long can I continue this exciting but tiring process of going to new places? Would I ever find a husband in this life style—becoming serious issue (!)? Many big question marks in my head!!! I am seriously considering consulting a fortuneteller. That’s how much I am confused!....
