If you’re a senior in the Korean high school system, hell comes November 12th. All their time spent studying in high school builds up to that very day. On the 12th, university entrance exams will take place across the country. My kids have been extremely stressed, spending every waking minute hitting the books and not getting enough sleep (high schoolers already don’t sleep enough). These exams determine what university they can attend and are a big deal. I feel for the kids who are sick with swine flu at my school who have to write the exam.
