What happened to your girlfriend? She can`t lend you the money for a few weeks until you can pay things off? I am sure the bill says to pay by a certain date, but they usually don`t do anything other than call you about it if you don`t manage to pay in time. You might be able to stretch things out.
If you`re set and determined to go home though, there isn`t much I can say. I`m assuming you have an open end return ticket already in hand?

I don`t think that bad luck is your fault - it`s just poor planning. But I can`t criticize you for that either, as I came to Japan at 17 with US$500.

About your living arrangements - I didn`t really mean where, I meant what sort of situation. Your own apartment? With friend/girlfriend? A gaijin house?
I can't imagine the hospital wouldn't be willing to make arrangements, even if it's a couple thousand yen a month...

But at the same time, if you can't cough up 240 bucks, you can't afford to live in Japan (like you said).

Come again after you get that degree...
