Bell Jar #5

When Esther returns to Boston she hears the news of her literature course that she had been awaiting so long to hear about. Her mother tells her first thing that she didn't get accepted. This basically tears her apart making her seem a little depressed. In fact, she begins to lose sleep for days at a time, and becomes unable to read. Her night with Marco made her mad but nothing to intense. She was even kinda proud about breakin' his nose, and kept the blood on her face for the train ride. But, as I said, when she heard of her un-acceptance into the course, she broke down. She became very hermit-like. The night with Marco did put her down a little, but the news of her course was the icing on the cupcake.
