Get the Great Expectations mug.A novel written by Charles Dickens in weekly parts from December 1860 to August 1861. Great Expectations is the story about Pip, a selfish, whiny teenager that grows up into a "gentleman." This is a novel assigned to many high school students to read, and probably the most boring book in existence. My advice, don't waste your time, cliffs notes work.
1) Thanks, Charles Dickens, for wasting two months of my life with your crappy book, Great Expectations.
2) I would call Bernadette, but she is reading that god-awful book Great Expectations.

Get the Subverting expectations mug.A saying that means the more you expect out of something, the more disappointed you'll be when the outcome arrives. So always lower your expectations so you won't feel disappointed about the outcome, but never worry about it either.
