 I'm an English Lit. student and I'll be starting my MA in the fall.

Did you/do you ever deal with the existentialist angst I do when it comes to English studies? Half the time I feel like it's a wholly self-serving faculty with no real value beyond academia.

 Hopefully this wasn't asked already -
When you are doing a close reading, what is your preferred method of taking notes and otherwise keeping track of information?

Whenever I attempt a close reading I end up with a book overflowing with multicolored stick-it notes. I invariably feel like I'm losing track of important tidbits and references.
