I am have obsessive and perfectionist tendcies so I would vow to read the whole book of every class twice.
I would start making a color coded outline of all important material and key words in each chapter.
I would summarize each definition or concept that I looked up and then stay up half the night doing this for each class.
So I was always stuck way behind whatever the teacher was talking about because I was in the weeds.
By end of semester I would be frustrated that my notes were not completed and I would have taken tests on things that I never heard of because I was obsessing over some key words from last month.
Yea I know.......

@REMsleep
I do this too whenever I annotate. Every color has a purpose!
I feel kind of bad for you though. You do all of this studying/analyzing and don't have enough time to get it all done. Your dedication as a reader is what every literature teacher wants to see in all their students. A for effort! (:

@BlackBloodDemon Aww thank you. Yes I would be so mad to spend so much effort and have very erratic grades.
Sometimes I would get an A due to innate ability or hitting the jackpot and being tested on something that I had actually completed.
Then Sometimes a C- or rarely D because I got overwhelmed and totally dropped the ball.
I used to look at the A students and how much they studied and I assumed that they just worked harder than me.
I was kinda included in the "smart group" due to my articulation in classes but my erratic grades were always a mystery.
I was so dumb never understanding why I couldn't finish. Even in college I did this.
