expectation 

The thoughts and hopes that go through ones mind before an engagement/party/happening etc. that consist of imagining what it might be like.
The equation to find satisfaction is found by taking enjoyment and subtracting expectation from it. This is to say that one should never expect too much from something.

Ben expected the party to go perfectly as planned. However, the band did not turn up, the drinks table was knocked over, three men were taking to hospital for the consumption of too much whisky an his car broke down on the way back. Although Ben had had a great time there, he found that he was not satisfied with the outcome because he had had very high expectations.

Expectation 

1. What one thinks will happen in the future.
2. What one wants to happen in the future.

The only word known to be both a synonym and antonym to itself, because an optimist will expect their expectations to be met, while a pessimist will not expect their expectations to be met.

Ronald fell short of my expectations, but I kind of expected him to.

Law of Expectation 

The universal truth that if you groom yourself in preparation for an expected hook-up, the hook-up will not occur immediately after. It only occurs when you haven't prepared yourself properly. Usually applicable to females.

For example, a girl shaves her legs in preparation for an expected hook-up but then the guy tells her he can't hang out that night.

She tells her roommate "Damn, I should've known I wouldn't get any tonight; its the Law of Expectation."
