Rise and shine! The second half of the semester is here. I hope you enjoyed your break, although I know most of us still had to do work here and there. That’s Hopkins. C’est la vie. In any case, I hope you caught up on all the shows, films, books and music you put off for midterm exams and essays, because the entertainment industry stops for no one.
