I'm not trying to dissuade you from eventually converting to Judaism, but I get the sense that before you can really even consider such a decision you should obtain a greater degree of general knowledge about Judaism than you seem to have. Would you like some recommendations?

Yes, that would be great.  I would like to do some kind of course, because I have been told I must complete one prior to being initiated.
