The last month or so has been pretty busy for me. It's crazy to think I was ever in America now. I've only been back for three months but those stressful carefree days have been scrubbed from my memory.

I started work back in August as a trainee/ junior quantity surveyor and have spent the last few weeks down on a building site in South London managing a group of guys and getting a feel for what the industry is like as a whole.

It's pretty hectic and draining, the weekend...
