    "Я в восторге!" , как мне кажется, очень подходящий перевод.

    Валда, у тебя есть украинцы знакомые, да? В украинском есть точный эквивалент: "я в ЗАхватi".

    As for me this is the best translation so far.

    However, that means - I'm delighted

    Well, what could I add? We never use - I'm excited thing - here. That's just how things are. So you always have to choose something else.

    My suggetion - жду с нетерпением - я в нетерпении, however that means I'm looking forward to or I'm itching for something.

    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.

    What about я очень жду! -- I've seen that construction before, but maybe it's not good Russian, or has a different shade of meaning?

    It is good Russian, and this means pretty much like --- I'm waiting for this very much. So that would also work I'm inclined to agree
