Don't add any more shock. It's most likely dichlor and adding CYA to the pool along with the chlorine. The higher the CYA the more chlorine you need and CYA doesn't go away unless you drain water and add fresh water. It can be a vicious cycle when using solid forms of chlorine.
In reading around the forum last night you probably have seen that we pretty much almost exclusively use liquid chlorine aka bleach to chlorinate around here. That's because the liquid chlorine only adds chlorine (and a negligible amount of salt) whereas solid forms of chlorine (powders and tablets) will also add either calcium or cya both of which continue to build up unless you replace water.
Did you read the ABC's article yet? There is also a chart to show what level FC you need based on your CYA level.

The problem right now is that you don't know that level for sure because strips are pretty bad at measuring it!
Can you remember exactly how many bags of shock you've added since you filled the pool?
The Pool Math calculator
http://www.troublefreepool.com/calc.html has a section at the bottom of it where you can enter an amount of a chemical and it will tell you what it added to your pool.
The only way to get CYA (stabilizer/conditioner/cyanuric acid) in the water is by adding it so since you haven't had the pool going that long we might be able to add up what you've added and figure out how much CYA you have in there. Then we'd know how much FC is safe to maintain until your kit arrives.
I'm so glad you ordered a kit! A lot of people put it off and waste a lot of money in the mean time trying to fix something without really being able to tell what is wrong!
The cloudiness is almost definitely being caused by having your FC too low for your current CYA. It's an algae bloom waiting to happen. Let's see if we can figure out that CYA and get your FC up so we can hold onto your blue water until your kit arrives.
Since your water is cloudy and you've had algae, once your kit comes you will need to go through the SLAM process

SLAM stands for Shock Level And Maintain. It will get rid of anything growing in there and get you to sparkly clear water and you'll have no problem maintaining once that's taken care of!
Ok, I know I just hit you with a whole bunch of information. It's overwhelming at first because it's all new. Keep reading around the forum and you can ask as many questions as you want right here. It's free! We do it because we like helping and teaching people how to maintain their pools and we've almost all been in your shoes at some point! (Last year before I found this site my pool was a slimy green mess...with foam!)
Recap.... do this asap...
See if you can remember how many bags of shock, bottles of anything or tablets you've put in the pool since you filled it. Post here and we should be able to figure out the CYA and give a recommendation of how much bleach to put in there. (We'll use the Pool Math calculator to figure it out.)
Get a few jugs of bleach to get started. Regular unscented bleach. It doesn't have to be Clorox brand. I use great value (Walmart store brand) and Up & Up (target store brand) most of the time because they're cheaper! Just make sure it's not "splashless" or some funky scented thing. There are other options out there for liquid chlorine but for starters it's the most simple to just grab the bleach when you're in wal-mart. ;-)
I'm going to stop typing before this becomes an epic novel! ;-) I hope you like reading! lol
