I remember learning about expectations in psychology 101, first year university. Essentially, the theory talks about how our expectations affect how we feel about pretty much everything. For example, if we hear a lot of buzz about a movie, our expectations may become so high that by the time we go see it, we're not all that impressed. Conversely, if we've heard something totally sucks, we'll probably be pleasantly surprised and think not so bad. So! Expectations can really set us up for disappointment or unexpected and pleasant experiences. What do we do with that? Well, I guess if we try to keep the expectations fair and balanced, we may be able to minimize the drama on our end. Just sayin ;)
