I made lamingtons without Natalie Tran's help

I found Natalie Tran's videos a few months ago, the day before I had a huge project due. That night I watched about 50 of her videos or so, no joke (I cried later when I was finishing my project past midnight).

At first I was really confused about all the lamington talk in her comments. Turns out, in a video made about four years ago, Natalie Tran aka communitychannel promised a lamington tutorial. And in these four years there has been no lamington how-to video, but there have been ones featuring lamingtons to taunt her viewers.

Then yesterday my mom wanted to make sponge cake so obv I stole half of it to make lamingtons! These are incredibly inauthentic.... ""Forgot"" to toast the coconut, used a chocolate toffee candy bar as the dipping chocolate, etc etc. You can blame Nat for not teaching me properly.

The first Friday of summer break, we went to DC to do touristy things while trying to act like we weren't really tourists. We saw the Folklife Festival being set up a week ago, and were originally going to spend most of our time at it... except it hadn't started yet oops (but we're going back next week!!)
