13: Sammy's for an Assignment?!

This weekend I got the chance to go to Sammy's with 5 other girls from my writing class.  Okay, this was an actual assignment.  An ASSIGNMENT!  and it was so fun!  The best assignment I've ever had to do.  I mean I don't think I've ever had an assignment basically telling me to hang out with some friends.

However, let's back-track a little to earlier that day.  Initially, I was not that excited to go to Sammy's.  I've never really liked hamburgers and I've never really been one who was big about friends.  I've always considered myself somewhat socially awkward or inept: I've always been somewhat more on the shy end so I've never really had a lot of experience with a big group of friends. (6 girls going to Sammy's was big in my mind!)  My comfort zone would've been at home having dinner with my family.  Nevertheless, because this was an assignment, I braced my fear, sucked it up and went on!  That was my mindset at first: I was going to Sammy's with a bunch of girls to complete an assignment.

Now fast forward to after our meal: Man!  I don't know why I wasn't excited to go!  I had so much fun, got to know everyone a little more, and got to deepen our friendships!  We all ordered and ended up sitting at a picnic table outside because the little restaurant was just that: little.  There was maybe room for 20 people and they all faced the wall or the "kitchen."  Not ideal for a group of us who planned to talk while we ate...

We had very nice conversations varying from movies to majors to our assignment and yes, to the moon!  (the moon-rise was absolutely beautiful).  By the end of our adventure/girls night out/restaurant visit, the assignment portion of the night had totally left my mind.  Forget about the assignment, this was a fantastic way to end the school week!
