~want and wait

I really really really want this apartment.

They're checking out my references... and I'm waiting.

It's available for September 1st. I'm available for September 1st. As long as the person whose name is at the top of the list (technically, I'm just the guy at number 194 who keeps up with his begging) stays UNavailable, and my last landlord doesn't, I might get it.

If this falls through, it's back to waiting.

Did I mention that I HATE to wait?
