Current flowing positive to negative is the conventional thinking.

This is as a result of electrons (which are negatively charged) moving from negative to positive.

You could also think of it as 'holes' moving from positive to negative. Holes being holes that are about to be occupied by an electron.

For ALL electrical purposes current flow is from positive to negative with no exceptions.
