This One is for my Daddy.

This picture was taken right after my mom started crying and anyone who knows me knows that when i see someone crying i am bound to start crying myself. So the picture is not too cute but i still like it...

Hello. Today is September 25 which just happens to be my daddy's birthday!!! Happy birthday DAD!! It is weird not being there with you on this very special occasion. I think this is the first time ever in my life that i am not there to celebrate with you. Thats a whopping 18 years, man. But anyways I love ya DAD!!

I love you because:

• If i had been a boy my name would have been Thomas Chester Spangler the Third.
• He loved baseball but because neither my sister or I played baseball, he switched to soccer just so he could enjoy it with us. (After seeing him at one of Davis's baseball games, I wondered how in the world he went so long without being able to enjoy that sport. His reply it was hard but i did it because i loved you two and you didnt want to play so i found something else i could enjoy doing with you.)
• You have supported me throughout my entire life and have always told me I can do anything.
• The many hilarious moments we have shared while coaching the little girls soccer team (man, I should've worn deoderant :) or toking, pasing, spreding out, uoosing the wall, garding the uther team, and wercking together) and the opportunities you have provided me with to grow as a coach and leader.
• The countless hours we can go without talking when we fight because we are both just too stubborn to face the fact that one of us was wrong and to go talk to the other. Instead we can go a long time until mom is finally like, just talk to eachother already, who cares who was right. (PS- WE care who was right haha)
• The many hours you have spent making my life better. Whether at work or helping me with school (even though that stopped around 10th grade haha) and the hours just spent talking.

I miss you Dad and I love you very much!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

Sarbear :)

This is it.

All i have to say is that my flag football team finally won a game. It was great.

Hello all,
I am just writing this post to wish Miss Hannah Elizabeth McVea a wonderful 19th birthday! So Happy Birthday! Wish i could be there! Love you and Miss you! Also on another note... We got our first snow of the season here. It is up in the mountains and not down in the town but you can definitely see it. It is at about the level of the "M" so not too far away... its great all the status updates from my friends here at Mines say something like "it is snowing!" or "snow, already?"

PA

You know you are at a school full of nerds when...

1. PE isn't called PE but rather PA for physical activity because PE stands for petroleum engineering.
2. And when the goal of PA is to get kids to put down their books and calculators and just have fun for an hour and half a week.
3. And when you are playing dodgeball and think hey these guys are nerds how hard can they throw? just to find out that nerds have a lot of pent up stress and dont mind taking it out on girls they dont know and will probably never talk to, i.e. they can actually throw pretty hard.
4. On the weekends it is normal to find a room full of guys not partying or anything but playing World of Warcraft or someother video game.
5. When you hear words like lon capa, kinematics, and partial derivatives and know what they mean and also cringe at the thought of them.
6. When you have quiet hours from 7pm-7am on the weekdays and 11pm-11am on the weekends so there is a quiet study environment.
7. And when you have kids walking through the halls at 7:06 pm telling people to be quiet because it is now quiet hours and they are trying to study calc, physics, or something of the sort and are being completely serious.
8. When seeing shirts like "I r=1-sin(x) Calculus BC" is normal. (r=1-sin(x) is an equation for a heart, so the shirt says "I heart Calculus BC")
9. Your chemistry professor really does love to blow things up and do all kinds of crazy experiments even though they are against the fire code.
10. And this same professor loves the elements song. If you dont know what that is, look it up. You will understand.
11. When jokes about CU and CSU are common and are often about there lack of knowledge compared to us.
12. When you are walking down the hall and see a guy and he turns his head or completely turns around because he is too embarrassed to talk to a girl.
13. Or the guy says hi super awkward and you try to talk to him and he answers with short comments so you just give up trying to talk to him.
14. When every door is held open for you because boys here may not talk to you but are very polite. (maybe on is from the south?)
15. When you are playing dodgeball in gym and a guy jokes about finding the velocity of the ball or the friction of your feet on the mat.
16. When a calculus equation takes over one line to write down and so you have to continue on the next line or turn your paper horizontal just to find out it doesnt fit that way either.
17. When you are complaining about how physics is so hard and that it takes so long to do one problem and you are then told that a 10 minute problem is nothing compared to a problem that takes over an hour and probably about 4 pages to complete.
18. When there is a huge party because the football team actually won a game.
19. When you are told that your sorority is making a float for homecoming with one of the frats and that this is the first year the frat has ever done an activity for homecoming with girls.
20. And lastly, when your theme for homecoming is Space Blaster.

I LOVE IT!!

I just keep going.

Well yesterday was interesting, to say the least. It was one long day full of so many emotions. I cried (my sisters keeper), i rejoiced (my test wasnt as bad as i was expecting, but still harder than your average test), i cried a little more, i couldnt sleep, i stayed up way to late and got up way to early, I enjoyed talking to various people, with some of which it has been way to long since we have last talked, and i hope i didnt ruin anything. But i wouldnt have it any other way.

PHYSICS!

So i promised some certain people i would update my blog. So, you know who you are, and here you go. I promised to split my few minutes of extra time between facebook and my blog, with the idea that there will be more to read here. So here it is:
There really isnt much exciting going on with the exception of my first two college tests. My calc 2 test went alright... I think and am hoping so; i wont find out for sure until tomorrow. But tomorrow is the test i am more concerned/nervous for... PHYSICS!! So tonight is going to consist of studying with a break for dinner and a break to go play some flag football. YA!!! Tomorrow, if you try to contact me i might be freaking out or something so dont be offended if i dont respond to you right away. But hey, maybe i will just be like whatever happens, happens i wont know until tomorrow i guess. Um other than that nothing really knew. I am thinking of going to see My Sisters Keeper tomorrow (the school is showing it) but am debating it because i dont really know if i want to cry infront of all those kids and also because it might make me feel worse after my physics test. I will just go with the flow.
Thats all folks.

SK and 75%

For those of you who i havent talked to recently you may be surprised to know i joined a sorority. Yes, me Sarah Spangler is now a proud member of the sorority of Sigma Kappa. I am hoping to meet lots of new girls- aka get a break from being around boys all the time. I mean there is a 75% male population here. Also, i have my first college exam on Monday. And technically it is also my first final exam of college. You see this is a special class that is Calc 2 short form where basically i take this class for 4 weeks, take a final, and if i pass the final i get to skip calc 2 and go straight to calc 3. So this should be fun on Monday! it is also a 2 part final so it will continue on tuesday. If the first college exam being a final isnt bad enough, I also have my first physics exam on Thursday. Oh boy am i excited for next week.
I have also joined the intramural girls flag football team which is turning out to be very fun. Even though we lost the first game, no we got creamed. But it is very fun and exciting. Even better, I get a break from all that work and studying.

Middle Names

So i am sitting here in Colorado watching my favorite movie, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, with my roommate, when Ally, with whom i am facebook chatting with, ever so politely suggests i update my blog. So here it goes. This one goes out to LISA CLAIR who's birthday it happens to be today. HAPPY 19th GURL!!
It seems like it was just yesterday, when i showed up to my first practice with the Cosmos soccer club. This is where i first met dear Lisa. From that point on we basically lived the same life (that is until i moved to Colorado for school at least). Well we became great friends and I truly do miss her along with the rest of the Standard. There have been so many memories with Lisa that i will never forget. Here are just a few memories and things that i love about Lisa:

• HELL WEEK. Probably one of the worst weeks of our lives. We cried a lot that week.
• Snipers
• Lisa's love of Hello Kitty
• Driving to school in complete silence in the morning but it not being awkward at all
• Choose your own adventure
• CUBS
• Ice cream
• Hoola Hooping
• Multiple soccer and basketball tournaments
• At these tournaments going to bed but then we would start talking and end up talking for hours and going to bed really late and being super tired the next day.

These are just a handful of the memories i have shared with her. Wish i could be there to celebrate with you, Lisa!! Love you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Laundry Day!

I just wanted to let everyone know i just spent over an hour and a half working on 1 physics problem. Granted it had 5 parts but that means it took me roughly 18 minutes to do 1 part. This time is just for physics. Keep in mind i worked on homework and did some laundry from 2:00-5:00. This time included some Chemistry and Calculus. I still am not done with either.
Just thought you should know what i have been doing today! Oh one other great thing about college is that i had 3 classes today, and class was over before it was supposed to be for all 3! That's right, in college if you finish the work or teachers just decide to end it early, you can leave. I love COLLEGE!
