What does this sentence mean "I'm a way past ready"? I've seen it in a film but I didn't understand that much especially the 'way past' snippet. Could someone explain to me the meaning of this sentence and the use of 'way past' in it? Thanks and advance! (^^)

“Way past” is a way to emphasize that you are ready or which ever verb comes after the phrase. So, “Are you hungry?” “I’m way past hungry. I’m starving. I haven’t eaten since breakfast and it’s 9 pm.” Depending on the context of the situation, the speaker can be showing excitement or annoyance. “Are you ready to graduate?” “I’m way past ready. I hate school.” “Are you ready to go on vacation?” “I’m way past ready. I can’t wait!”
