I have to do vocabulary and I am on the word "tonic". I have:
Tonic, Heard it, noun
prediction: a drink?
Definition: voice tone?
Dictionary definition: invigorating
sentance:

And I'm stuck. I was wondering if this sentance made since.

"The storm had such tonic, the wind was blowing, it was raining, and it was freezing outside."

Does it? Does it even sound good? If not, what can I do to correct it?

Thanks!

It's mountains and plains and meadows and fields are so beautiful and rich for planting and sawing and rearing cattle of all kinds and for building towns and villages. The harbors on the coast and the number and size and whole someness of the rivers, most of them bearing gold surpass anything that would be believed by one who had not seen them.

I applied for a student loan back in early August, and it still hasn't gone through--they keep asking for all these different things, and I'm really worried that it's because my mom has bad credit and she's my cosigner.Can they refuse me my loan because of her mediocre credit? I'm already in college and still need 2,000 for the semester, and I'm getting really worried...and I've learned how much I hate beaurocracy...

There is a school in Minneapolis I want to go to called ipr. It's a 2 year college and I figure it's going to cost me around 45,000 dollars for the tuition, room and board, etc.

I am 18 living with my parents, I have good credit. The school is for audio engineering. There is a wide opportunity of jobs I could get after graduating, doing sound for various tv stations, radio, studio mixing, music production, etc. Would I be able to get a college loan big enough to pay it off? And if I did, do you think it would be unrealistic to try and pay off that kind of money?

I could probably shave off a little bit of with scholar ships, I made b average all through high school...and how do grants work? Halp.
