Whoa! Where did the winter break go? One minute it seemed like we were all embarking to head home, and the next we're sitting in class, being bored to tears. What happened? Ah well, we've got the first edition of Whim: Season 13 to alleviate our winter blues. So let's all grab our Yoo-hoos and jump right into another swingin' edition of the newsletter, shall we?
