When you are looking forward to something, you are constantly checking the clock to see what time it is. In reality, you are checking the time more frequently than you think. Time doesn't move fast enough because we are so focused on it instead of what we could be doing to make time pass more quickly.
So yeah, it is ALL about the anticipation of what is coming or what is going to happen.

Well , when you've something to do or you're very busy - time goes very fast and time slows down when you want it to go fast when you're waiting for something.
I think it's just humans assumption.

Because you are in a situation that you dont want to be in and cant wait to be out of it so we get impatient and clock watch which appears to make time drag.
We never clock watch when we are enjoying ourselves and thats why time flies.

That's simply because when you want it to go fast is when you are bored and have plenty of time to think about it...and you keep checking your watch every 5 seconds...
