leave so badly & could wait to leave
How should I correctly write this?
1 I wanted to leave so badly that your telling me we have to stay an extra day is a disappointment.
2 I so couldn't wait to leave that your telling me we have to stay an extra day is a disappointment.
3 I couldn't wait to leave so badly that your telling me we have to stay an extra day is a disappointment.
Thank you so much

Is it natural to say
I can't wait to leave SO BADLY THAT?
I couldn't wait to leave so badly that your telling me we have to stay an extra day is a disappointment.
Would you say it differently? How would you please?

Hi,

Mister Micawber#2 is casual slang.Actually, I would consider it mixed register because of the phrase "your telling me". What do you say, MM?

Hi Regards,
What cued 'casual slang' for me was 'I so couldn't wait'. I wasn't really paying attention to the rest of it; the way I figure is: lowest common denominator...

Mister Micawber,
since I couldn't find this thread, I asked this sentence I got an answer. The person said that it was wrong to use so badly
here. But you say it is correct? If it is wrong, I don't see how you can show the extent to which 'you can't wait to leave' or is that already implied?

Ok thanks,
But is it implied that you want to leave badly when you say "you can't wait to leave"?
Could you tell me how you would write this sentence yourself?
Which makes sense and is correct? Would you rephrase?
I don't see how you can show the extent to which 'you can't wait to leave'.
