This is very good :DDD. Especially for me since this is the kind of stuff that I study in college.

As someone who took a Physics degree at one of the best schools in the world precisely because I wanted to work in particles, I can say that you most likely don't have the mathematics base to getinto this field. I don't either as I found to my cost. Nor does anyone who took a physics degree. You need a Maths-only degree and you need to get a first class (perfect GPA) from a school with a world class reputation in maths, then do a physics postgrad.

It's great for keeping up with and being interested in, but one's chances of being one given that you study physics is like playing football for Man United given that you were on the school team for it.

One of my professors was a theoretical physicist from Berkeley, he was doing resarch for his Phd at the time, and he said that you didn't need a math only dgree to become a theoretical phycisist, he said that was more specific to becoming an experimental physicist. He said it was rare nowadays to find someone who could think adeptly in both fields, since they have become somehwat specilaized.
