What Is Shock?
It’s when your classmate tells you the paper is due on Friday, barely 2 days from now and you still haven’t started anything yet.
Inside the FX going home, you panic, thinking about staying up all night because you’re afraid (no you’re not grade conscious) you’ll not pass the subject. You think you need to be absent from work the next day. You ask your classmates too for clarifications about the paper (a thesis proposal) - actually "eaves-dropping" if they’re done with it. It frightens you more to learn that it’s ready for submission and you wish you wrote it long before. But you’re just good in cramming, that’s how your creativity works well so you assure yourself you can actually beat the deadline.
And you’re right! But this isn’t the time to pop the champagne. Wait till you receive the result of your paper. Just hope it’s a different kind of shock.
