Hey guys! I apologize for the delay again! I have had another very busy week. My summers should be free, but I have a lot of things going on all the time. I have an internship, have to do swim instruction, summer homework, and watch kids from time to time, so yes, I am pretty booked most of the time. Anyways, I'm here now, and I have just released the Summer Soundtrack voting. The voting form can be found here. Please read all of the directions before voting, thank you (ignore the name part)!We are saying goodbye to no songs this week, so let's jump right into the countdown.
