It's not as bad as it sounds, trust me. Personally, I'm traumatized by this absolute flyer he took to a fence that did not require so much effort Between the Maryland 5*, a visit to see my girlfriend, and the general lack of work life balance that exudes from the architecture profession, I went a full two weeks with zero Fuego time.
