Small talk

The topic of 'small-talk' among my friends and I in Russia changes just like the season. We have classes in groups of 10, so most of the talking (to non-group members) is done in the hostel, while cooking, or in the bus or metro to/from class. (When we go visiting to each others rooms or go out for 'makan' then the topic of conversation in more variable.)

These are the questions most frequently asked:

Autumn :
How was summer holidays?
Don't you feel lazy to be back?
Any plans for winter holidays?
What's for dinner?

Winter :
Not going anywhere for holidays?
Bored la..dunno what to do..any ideas?
This year winter quite warm/bad, huh?
How was exams?
What's for dinner?

Spring :
How was winter holidays?
Can't wait for summer to go back, how 'bout you?
Any plans for summer holidays?
When are you going back home? Have you booked your tickets?
What's for dinner?

*Summer : We don't really talk that much 'cos everyone goes back for holidays and we rarely meet up.

Current 'famous' topic :
Are your parents/family members coming for your graduation? When will they be here?
When are you planning to go back?
Any plans to go anywhere before going back home?
Any idea when and where is the graduation?
Feeling bored, any suggestions?
(And of course) What's for dinner?

Don't get me wrong though, the questions are all asked sincerely.
