- Denial: if I don't answer their email for a while that'll give me more time.
- Anger: how could I have done so fucking little since the last meeting?
- Bargaining: if I pull a few late nights I might get something passable done.
- Depression: I'm fucked.
- Acceptance: ugh, I'll just be honest and work harder for next time.
Written, of course, when I should have been preparing for a meeting with my PhD supervisor.
