Exams and Sleepy Students

The whole campus looks like a graveyard. Students look like they haven't slept a single hour and people are stressed to get the best possible grade. A few of my friends are staying up until 5am so that they can study, they sleep for two hours and continues. That's sick!
I managed to wake up a bit earlier today to prepare myself for my upcoming test when my roommate tells me some funny things about koreans before they will have a exam. If there is an important exam coming up, koreans spend day and night to study. They make sure that they memorize everything and one thing they do: they won't wash their hair. I asked my roommate why is that? Her answer was: Well, Koreans don't want to wash away all the knowledge they just got. I started laughing and realized that I just washed my hair yesterday evening before going to bed. One thing you shouldn't eat before exams is seaweed.
All of my four exams is already done. The exams were basically quite easy. In Finland and most parts of Europe, the exams has 5-10 questions and you have to write long answers. The exams here are based on true/false questions and multiple choice. I have not been eating seaweed so Im good, but I managed to wash my hair yesterday so that's probably the reason why my last exam didn't go that well. Hopefully it won't be as bad as I think it will be.
