Waiting list woes

In a matter of two days I jumped from number 310 to number 192 on the waiting list to get into the grad house. In half an hour I have a date to call my friend at home and discuss living arrangements for next year. She's going to U of T too and has been offered a spot in the res through her department but doesn't want to take it, and instead wants to live with me off campus. I was ready to give up on the res because of my lousy number. Now who knows.
