What are the interests and aspirations of this novice in the science community?

Hello there! I'm probably younger and less experienced/educated than most active members here, so it is with caution I come here now.
I have never quite gotten the hang of the formalia surrounding these intro-posts and it's currently 02:40 in the morning so I might be writing wonkily.
I'm currently studying first year of Swedish upper secondary at NatSci/NatSci/Maths (The Science programme with a http://norrareal.stockholm.se/sites/default/files/nanatma14_0.pdf specific to my school). I hope to get a PhD in theoretical physics (Cosmology? Astrophysics? Particle physics? Complex systems? Don't know yet!) but the thought of a Teknologie Doktor (Engineering) or pure mathematics hasn't escaped me. Other interests include writing, philosophy and politics.
I couldn't find but mentions of it, but is there a IRC room related to these forums?
Hiya!

Welcome to the forums, WineRedPsy! There is no IRC channel related to these forums; however we have a chat which is open to all members on a Sunday (US time), and at all other times to those who have gold membership.

Also, chat is social, questions and homework must be asked in the forums, not chat.

All rightie, thanks!
