Will Cinders go to the ball?

There are times living at the Ashu when I think my position is a little like Governesses in the days of yore.(Jane Austen rather than Ellie Austen)   I am both part of the fabric, but not part of the fabric. All this week I have thought I would be facing a cold night and preparing my own food instead of which the place is full again and I have been whisked into the kitchen to eat. This week as the owner is around and even my colleague has come over that makes it quite lively. There was even a disco the other night, but Cinders was not invited. However, I might be going to a film premiere on Saturday.  Having not gone to Bishkek last weekend, I planned to go this weekend, but the person I was going to stay with has so much work on she has had to cancel. So I was like, should I try and arrange something or should I let the usual Krygyz adventure happen instead. Nevertheless feeling in need of a break I thought  let's see if the other people I know are around. The bosses wife had also mentioned the premier of her sister in law's film  and I thought it was going to be in someone's house so I thought if I get to Bishkek perhaps I can pop in and see it. So I provisionally arranged to see an American woman I know for Thanksgiving and try and see the film but I have now found out that the school is running a bus up to Bishkek to see the premier and there is a meal after and probably lots of vodka. So at the this point I have no idea what will happen on Saturday but sometimes just sometimes I feel like I am in the midst of something extra-ordinary being involved with this school and this family and these people. I think that the family in Senegal would have liked it if  I had got more involved with their lives. They were very nice people, very business smart people and based on their beautiful houses pretty rich,  so I always felt inadequate around them, here although these guys have a lot more than me, somehow because I have my own little room here, and they also just have a little room here and I have my role as governess so to speak it seems more manageable.
