Payed my tuition For U of M

Just forked over $1500 for the first half of tuition at the UofM today. Im broke as hell now!!! And its going up in the fall. On top of that they are passing a bill today. I heard the state will remove the flat rate cap for full time students. Now students will be charged per credit hour just like part time students.
I found an article on the Tennessean that explains it a little better, heres a snippet of the article. You can find the full article here on the Tennessean .

The more college credit hours students sign up for, the more tuition they will pay, the Tennessee Board of Regents decided Thursday.
Currently, students at the universities and community colleges in the Board of Regents system pay a flat rate for full-time tuition, regardless of the actual number of classes they take. Students could take four classes, about 12 credit hours of work, or six classes, about 18 credit hours, and pay the same fee.
Starting next school year, full-time students will be charged per credit hour, just as part-time students are charged. The board voted 9-4 to remove the tuition cap and will set the new tuition rates in June, board spokeswoman Mary Morgan said.
