Trapped over the summer… Trouble finding a job… Parents driving me insane…. Help?

I’m nineteen years old, and I’m unfortunately one of those university students who are stuck living with their parents over the summer and living in residence in the fall… My university is in a city two hours from my hometown. I’m going to be starting my second year of my Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education… My parents have always been supportive of my choice in career. Music’s the one thing that has kept the drive to keep me going in life and one of the few things I can actually do “right”.

The problem with studying away from home, is that the things that change over there affect you as soon as you go back. My dad had lost his job a few years back, had a temporary one before getting laid off, and then got another a few days after I started classes. But then, when I came home for Christmas break, I had discovered he hadn’t been going into work because he was “getting sick”. When I came home a month before that, I had discovered that they couldn’t afford the house that we had lived in for 17 years anymore, and that they’d have to move into an apartment some time later on. I was upset that my mother did not tell me this through all of the emails she had sent me…

So, of course, when I returned to my hometown in late April, I had to get used to the change of a small house with an upstairs and privacy, to a small apartment with no upstairs and little to no privacy. My father had still not been working, so income was difficult to scrounge up for my mother, who was the only one working… My plans were to start looking for a job immediately, but my grandfather’s eventual death had put those plans on standby… So job hunting started later in the month of May, and no matter how hard I’d look, no job opportunities were opening up, save for one interview, which I didn’t pass…

However, I wasn’t completely hopeless… My band director from high school called me up, asking if I could work for him, doing band inventory and other odd jobs for him in the office. I worked from June 9th, 2011 to June 30th, 2011. My paycheck for all the hours I’ve worked should be coming soon, and it should be at least $1600, which makes me very happy.

Unfortunately now, I’m back where I started. And I just don’t know where to look anymore… I’ve tried looking at places all around neighbourhood, and many of the job websites for my city, but there’s nothing that interests me or fits any of the skills I have.

I’m also having issues with my parents, and their attitudes towards me lately.

For example, just this evening, I went to complete my second hour of practicing my clarinet in the bathroom. (There’s no space in my bedroom) I had finally received some summer repertoire, and the piece is very technical, so of course I have to work on the difficult sections over and over. When I finally finish, my mother asks if I’m done, to which I reply, which causes her to sigh in relief. Offended, I ask what the problem with my playing was all of a sudden. To which she replies with a snooty tone: “Do you really have to play the same song over and over?” Now, I’m pretty sure it’s common sense that you can’t get a piece properly prepared if you don’t go over it several times. I’d go to a practice room over at a university, but the closest one is quite far away, and I’m nervous about leaving sheet music on the bus by mistake.

My dad is mostly sitting on his ass doing nothing. I don’t see why he shouldn’t get a job. Mom needs to stop feeding his alcohol habits.

They have a need to buy beer and clamato on Fridays and get hammered. I understand they want to have fun, and mom wants to relax after a long week at work, but I don’t enjoy listening to loud music and constant drunken lectures by my father every Friday. And the fact that they HAVE to watch a movie late at night with the sound BLARING is just pissing me off! It sickens me that they think just because they’re the parents they can do whatever they please…

Does anybody have any ideas about what I should do about this clusterfuck? Or do I just have to suck it up and get over it?
