Wait

Wait is a verb
Waiting is the action explaining the verb
I am just making this up and hope what I deduced above is grammatically correct
If not, apologies to those that I have misled

FYI I am a part of a group that is waiting for examination result
The result has some bearing on my career path and to some in the group, would determine life and death (no , not really)
One guy in the group however seems to get one out of two part of the exam result
He passed , not with flying color as expected, but out of respect to others is containing his jubilation
This is an hard act to do due to his inborn nature of bragging
He obviously will be reading this post and will curse me for the next 4 weeks
To him I salute his accomplishment , albeit pedestrian.
The wait continues to for the rest of us
I am hoping for the best..... for all of us
