How to go to College

and not pay a cent.


The obvious answer? You can’t. Unless your very privileged which-let’s face it-not many people are.

I’m currently in the process of figuring out how to pay the $16,000 for my first year at college. It isn’t going to pay itself, though I hope and pray it will.

Yes. $16,000 and some change for the first year’s room and board and tuition for classes. Books, supplies, and personal expenses are not included in that sum.

It’s funny that, even in all this economic crisis, many companies in the student loan industry are thriving. I am currently in talks with a company that just recently entered into student loans. This being one of the reasons I’m applying with them as newcomers, I hope, are less likely to see some of the major frauds and bad business practices which students have fallen victim to for years.

Though Government loans are technically cheaper, but these loans are need-based and, depending on your eligibility, you may have to start repaying these loans immediately after disbursement. So, while taking less classes each semester due to lack of funds, you must work (which I would have no problem with) one or two jobs to make the payments each month.

However, I will eventually figure out how I’m going to pay. I guess it’s time to contact the Financial Aid office.

Alice in Wonderland

These pics make me excited.


I’m excited to see Tim Burton’s cinematic genius at work again this time creating some really cool characters. Although the movie release is just under a year away (March 2010), I’m already marking my calendar to be first in line to see this movie.

Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter? Check. Helena Bonham Carter as The Red Queen (Queen of Hearts)? Check. Anne Hathaway as The White Queen? Check.

Images of Tweedledee and Tweedledum and Alice herself have also been released. There is also this nice wide shot.

What upcoming movies are you excited about?

New Cody Ogden.com

New Site is Coming Together...Slowly.


If you haven’t noticed the major change to the website, I hit a little creative spark last night and have created a new design for CodyOgden.com.

What’s going on:

  • Latest Dailybooth.com image at the top of the site giving you the latest pic of me.
  • I’m still working on getting the comments coded in. I have them designed, just not coded. Bite me.
    I now have the comments designed, up, and running. – 9:38PM 6/20/2009
  • Sidebar will pop up in the next few days with some stuff.
  • The Menu needs some pizazz.

It’s still a work in progress, but I wanted something personally made and not something pulled from the WordPress theme directory.

It’s still a work in progress, there are sure to be bugs.
