Have you guys ever noticed that the more you expect something to happen, it often never does? And even if your expectations are correct, they often don't happen exactly as planned?

Such an example of this is being prepared for tests. I often study as much as possible, though with the expectation the test to be brutal two weeks before I take it. It turns out later that the test was far from difficult and wondered why I had been anxious and worried about something that I am totally uncertain about (the teacher never gave us the scope beforehand).

I guess such a thing can apply to everything in life (especially the weather). It's good to plan out certain events, but to "expect" the outcome usually requires the gift of seeing the future.

And we all know that all of us aren't born with that gift.

so true sometimes when i don't study and i know the materical i get 80.........................

Isn't this like jinxing? I usually don't do it unless I am really desperate for something to go my way. Of course, if worse come to worse, I'll simply stay the course at whatever happens to me.

dunno..I expect something and it always came true
