All in all, this is all quite reassuring. Back when I was working (and being rejected by various universities each year), I always maintained that my 2:2 didn't really reflect my ability. However, there was part of me that wondered if I was just making excuses, and whether the universities were right, i.e. whether I really didn't have what it takes to be a postgrad. Now that I'm on the MSc course, I think the reason I'm finding it easy is that I had to find a place that was willing to take me with my low grades. For instance, I know that not everyone on the course actually did a CompSci undergrad degree. So, the average student is finding the subject matter more difficult, and I would be too if the 2:2 had been what I deserved. So, since I'm finding the course easy, that shows that I do have the ability to do well. And although an MSc from Kings may not be worth as much as the corresponding qualification from Imperial, it should be good enough to get me onto a PhD there (assuming I get a distinction).
And I got my delivery from Amazon today (Buffy CD, DS9 novels, Transformers comic), so I'm a happy bunny :)
