can't wait
Thrilled about upcoming
Can't wait expresses eager anticipation for something, often hyperbolically suggesting the waiting itself is unbearable.
I can't wait for summer vacation.
She can't wait to see the new movie.
Despite the literal impossibility implied, the phrase simply means someone is very excited or looking forward to something.
It functions as a complete expression of enthusiasm, sometimes used sarcastically when anticipating something unpleasant: Oh great, another meeting—can't wait.
