Today’s Parola del Giorno is the verb expression, non vedere l’ora, which means to not be able to wait or to long (to do something).  The preposition, di, precedes the infinitive.  See the expression used below in its context:

Non vedo l’ora di andare a studiare in Italia! Sono così entusiasta alla sola idea! Ho persino trovato una casa vicino Testaccio… sono al settimo cielo!

I can’t wait to go study in Italy! I am so thrilled at the mere idea! I even found a house near Testaccio… I am on Cloud Nine!
