First time on new work shift

This morning, woke up at 8am and went to work to do the BBC at 9am. It was my first time on the shift and I was pretty excited. But when I started, it ended up to be pretty hard - all these names that I didn't really have time to prep for or just couldn't remember how I trained the pronunciations in my dictionary. So I kept saying this man, that man, this person... etc...

While I was on air, TY was at his work desk which was just around the corner, and after the news ended, he said I sounded very Australian. Really? Hee.

Anyway, the first few segments came out really good but after that I lost concentration and I think I just started repeating the same words and my sentences came out without making any sense. It wasn't totally jibberish - more like baby-talk. Pretty embarrassing when you go over your work again. Oh well, there's always a first time for everything I guess.
