the feeling you get after you stumble or trip - over a rock, ledge, curb, yourself, or even nothing but a flat surface, panic briefly, but do not fall
As you walk to your eight a.m. class, jamming to your favorite song in order to wake you up, and get you prepared for a long day, and are completely consumed in your own little world, you suddenly stumble over your own feet, and are quickly yanked back to your harsh reality. Unbalanced you panic, fearing the inevitable collide with the solid earth beneath you, however it never comes, as you regain your balance, without experiencing the probable pain of the "tragic" fall. Noticing several students in the area, you avoid eye contact,so that further embarrassment is deterred. You chuckle awkwardly out of relief and maybe a slight feeling of stupidity, and continue your trek to class with a feeling of relivif.
