Awesome

I've started learning cryptography about 5-4 years ago, including mathematical formulas (AES-256 blowfish etc..)
Bitlocker is the safest option currently available.
Even Truecrypt is not a trusted app at all. they also suggest you to transfer ur data from truecrypt to Bitlocker
Here is a nice trick
Create a virtual hard disk file using DISKPART command in command line (.VHD)
Mount it
Encrypt it with Bitlocker.
Unmount.
Don't forget to do some research using these keywords
"memory dump bitlocker bruteforce"
Hide your key in a NTFS Alternative Data Stream

Backup that key file or Upload it into your Lastpass secure note
Activate 2 pass authentication system, (you can use google authenticator or Lastpass authenticator, or maybe some 3rd party app like Authy)
Finally Protect your email with 2 factor authentication
