[blindLaw] law school tutor

[Julie McGinnity]

Good evening,

O yes, your feelings are totally valid. I'm also a 1L, and let me tell
you, I am constantly swamped and either one step behind or getting
close to one step behind. Zoom school doesn't help matters.

Feel free to send me a message off list. Not sure which classes you're
taking, but I'd be happy to chat about material as well. I just can't
promise I'll know all the right answers as I am still learning myself.

We have dean's fellows, like TAs, for some of our classes, and they
have office hours. Definitely recommend going to them if that is an
option for you. They can explain the material and sympathize with your
struggles.

Also, if you are connected with your classmates, you can always reach
out and start a study group. I have a close friend I study with, and
it's been great. Sometimes it helps just to talk through the cases
before you have to write about them on exams.

Hang in there. This year can't last forever, I don't think?

Julie
