I had a horrible time for part of my undergraduate as well. But no matter
how bad it got, I just kept reminding myself that I loved to sing, and that
I was going to follow my dream no matter what. And I'm glad I stuck with it!

However, it does sound like you're in an untenable situation. I agree with
the advice to get a new teacher! You might also want to consider speaking
with the head of the voice division about what's been happening with your
lessons. And if things are that bad in your school, maybe transferring
somewhere else (again) may be something to consider. If the director is that
unprofessional, do you really want to go through your whole undergraduate
dealing with it?

I hope things work out,
