Today was a big day - it marked the beginning of our proper work schedule and the end of the training stage. This essentially means that we have to produce about two programs a day and that if we don't, we will HAVE to sing on air (in the words of one of the journalists.)
Luckily, I didn't have to do any singing today, although I am pretty exhausted. Today I wrote and presented a press review of what was going on in the newspapers in the UK, Ireland, Switzerland and Belgium (I feel slightly limited by being unable to speak any other European languages.. any Finns out there feel like helping me out...?). I also did a 'revue de caricature' about some offensive cartoons alluding to Fukushima and the Tokyo Olympic games in Le Canard Enchaine. Tomorrow I have to go interview someone about European Mobility Week (turns out there are a LOT of different European weeks...)
It is fun getting to write about and interview different people everyday and I'm sure that as it goes on, it will also become less tiring. The website has seen a spike in hits after publishing a video of a French minister swearing at a journalist (draws in many more viewers than actual news!) so people do actually seem to be listening to what we are producing, which is both daunting and comforting at the same time.
We'll see what tomorrow brings...
A plus. xxx
