how should it take you to spread financials and make a earnings report?

I am an intern in a coverage group. Last week, we had an earnings call, something thats gonna occurs roughly 4-5x a week from next week till the end of the internship. However, something that's been bothering me is the length of time it takes me to complete my tasks. I had the call on Tuesday afternoon: I took notes, filled in the interim numbers, attended the call, observed how the analysts did it last time, and prepared the model. It basically took me from 9 am to 5 pm the next day to compile the financial data and create the earnings report. Is it supposed to take this long? my deadline was like Tuesday

As I'm not an accounting major, it takes me a while to comprehend why there are numerous ways to express the same stupid thing, also them trying to explain how its not bad and actually figure out how the firm did and why and their outlook. Furthermore, English is not my first language, so I constantly need to double-check my spellings and figures. Despite this, it seems like the process should take less time. If it doesn't, how do the actual analysts manage, especially when they have three calls per day?

am i missing something or do i just suck? and any tips would be apprecited

EDIT: i also feel shit making my analyst do 2x the work basically not to mention reply to my comments expaling stuff
