Disappearance

I have vanished for a week. I guess I took a blog vacation ha! It has been a little busy here. I finished school completely. I cleaned and put away all my school things, like my books and binders. I sold a book to a friend, and have to give a friend back her book. Mom and I went shopping for a couple of days. It was fun like always! We went to Barnes & Noble to get a book that I have had my eye on. It was cheaper online than in the store, so I decided to wait and order it online. Instead, I bought a book that is about my favorite actor.



Heath Ledger was a superstar on the world stage, a good-hearted guy, a true romantic, a man who was dedicated to his craft and who loved a laugh. This is the definitive look at the real life of Heath Ledger from childhood to fully-fledged stardom, with exclusive personal insights from his family and friends. It is also very much a story about the beginning of a legend.
When he was just 17 years old, Heath drove across the country from his hometown of Perth in Western Australia to Sydney, determined to follow his passion for acting. It was not long before he became a celebrity on the world stage. But behind his journey to Hollywood, financial turmoil rocked his family. And while his death came as a surprise to the public, those who knew him best were aware of his problems. Those who knew him best were also aware of the allegations that he had fathered a child before his rise to fame.
Extensively researched by respected journalist Janet Fife-Yeomans, this beautifully written story of Heath Ledger is a tribute to his all too short life.


I got this their website. He was an amazing actor, and when I saw this book on the bargain table, I had to get it. He died January 22, 2008 and was only 28 years old. So far I really like this book. It is basically about his life and how he got to where he was in the U.S. If anyone hasn't watched any of his movies, you are missing out!


So I finished the spring semester with a 3.75 GPA!!! Woo-hoo! Three A's and a B. I'm glad I don't have to worry with school for a while. I can't believe April is already gone! May is full of so many things. Mother's Day, school usually ends and graduations, Memorial Day, and lots of other things. We have birthdays in May, and one sad day.....the day I lost my Grandpa (Paw). We still miss him like it was just last year that he went to Heaven.


I hope everyone has a great weekend! I also want to say sorry to Haley for not joining on Monday! I will definitely catch you this Monday!!
