I had a surgery one week later to put the bones back into the correct position.  This required two two-inch steel pins to hold everything in place.  I was not able to work, and due to lost wages was almost evicted from my apartment.  I was enrolled at the time in the Visual Communications program at the Art Institute of Seattle. This happened right before finals week.  I missed my finals, and the result was my GPA dropping from a 3.5 to a 0.66.  Due to this drop in my grades, I lost a need-based scholarship.  The conditions of the scholarship were that I keep a 3.5 or above.  Thank you, SPD.  My tuition went up, and I could not afford school.  I had to drop out.  Thank you, SPD.  I never imagined that anything like this would have ever happened.  According to the record, I am a law-abiding citizen.  I have never even had a parking ticket!  My "rights" were trampled on that night.  The SPD laughed at the constitution and urinated upon it.  I have a growing hatred for our corrupt government, and I also harbor an overwhelming sense of rage and frustration towards society in general.  My dream has been trampled for now.  But I have no regrets.  This will only make me stronger.  I will strive to educate and better myself.  I have grown, and this situation has inspired me to do whatever I can to make a change in our sheeplike society.  Thank you, SPD!
