Just hang in there, keep yourself strong and think that you do this because of your family. You can at least ease the homesick by talking to them online, use social networking sites like FB and sending SMS to them.
I may not be on the same boat and situation like you, but we are both far away from our family. But one thing that I am thankful is that Internet was made to keep me posted and updated with my family.

Hi zsarhea: I'm actually living at home with my parents, so I can't tell you I'm passing through a similar situation. However I'd love to study in France. It's quite difficult at the moment but I probably will do it next year 
. I'm sorry to hear that for now you don't feel comfortable. Maybe if you interact more you¡ll learn Deutsch more easily. Student's life is difficult, however, just the fact that you can be outside your country studying, that's a
privilege so try enjoy all the experiences.

We all are facing different life situations and whatever comes across, we need to face it. Many are rich at the time many more are poor. The need of the time is to survive with what we have and look for better options and alternatives. I think you will find a better and suitable job once you complete learning the language and keep trying for still better ones. Do some job oriented course or try different part time jobs which is suitable for you. Work hard and try the best, that is what we can do for the time.
All the best.
Thank-s

I have really never been that far away from my family, but I don't see them often. I live in the city and my family lives like 12 hours away. I only see them once or twice a year. So I guess, I could say that I have may share of feeling homesickness.
When I feel that way, I just pray and try to contact them. I do hope that you can find a better job soon, so you can help your family. Don't worry, just pray and be strong. Cheers! =)
