Hi I am Caleb Lagge and I am a junior studying computer engineering and mathematics. I chose to study these topics, because I like coding and math, specifically statistics. And I hope to one day work as a quant. While I enjoy my major for the most part, the primary problem is that it is very time consuming, so I do not often have a lot of free time. But the bright side is that I do enjoy working hard since the payoff is often very rewarding.
To tell a little more about myself, I am a pretty big gym rat, so my free time is often spent working out with my friends at the Huff. If you read my favorite place post you will find that this is also my favorite place. My other free time is normally spent watching sports with my roommates. My favorite teams being the Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Twins, OKC Thunder, and the Calgary Flames. Unfortunately, none of these teams have won championships in my lifetime, but I still have a somewhat foolish hope that next year will be their year.
My favorite movie would have to be Gladiator which is kind of ironic because I normally would prefer to watch a comedy or something much more lighthearted. However, what I like about Gladiator is that it has a good story with a nice mix of action, and while it is not a comedy there are some funny moments, at least in an ironic sense.
I am looking forward to taking this class, because it is not like any class I have taken. Instead of an engineering class where there are set rules and procedures one must take, this class gives its students the opportunity to be creative and go about the assignments in their own ways. To me this is fun as the blog posts I make are truly my own.
