WE HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE ON TOP (MAYBE)

Two weeks after completing my career as professional student (and two weeks into my new career as an academic bum), I was flipping through the Boston Metro and what did I see? No, not another Gibbs College ad – it was an ad for the 2007 Health & Fitness Expo, where none other than Caridee English (the model formerly known as America’s Next Top Model) would make an appearance! Naturally, Mandie and I hurried over to the Hynes Convention center – with cameramen Alex and Travis in tow.

Caridee was absolutely lovely, and autographed my arm, my pill box, and my Schepens Eye Research Institute I.D. She also gave us autographed photos and declared us to be her “favorites…for now.” Aww! I think she liked us, and wanted to be our friend. Which would be awesome, because then I’d only be two degrees of separation from Tyra Banks!
