I fucking hate myself so much. Every time someone says something that I can recognize as lyrics in a song, I immediately start singing that song. I can't control it and its so frustrating. The most recently and most embarrassing example of this was when I was in class and heard a group of people sitting next to me talking about a murder that happened in our college town. A girl in the group referred the the murderer as a "psycho killer" and I immediately started singing "psycho killer" by the talking heads. As I was finishing the "run run run away" verse, I turned to them and genuinely I have never seen faces of such disgust and horror. I just packed up my stuff and left teh class to cry in my dorm. What the fuck is wrong with me?

My piano instructor has been teaching me to practice this scale for two octaves with the fingerings like this:
123412312341234

when I search online, I have only ever seen it like this:
123123412312345

Is the way I am being taught correct?
