I applied to every school I thought was reasonably within my range also. Depression generally sets in a month (or day) or two into your first year (this is where the alcohol comes in). But by the third year, its not so bad.
Advice? Try not to stress out too much over your grades.. though they do matter in getting summer jobs, and eventually a real job, they aren't the only thing that matters. And after your first job, they REALLY won't matter much.
If you're going to sleep 20 hours a day, you should sit in the back a lot. Also, check out this blog post I came across on strategies for getting "called-on" in class -

It'll be funnier once you're in law school!

Regarding the depression, I'm told the happiest law students have dogs. I love dogs, but I also love alcohol. Maybe I should aim to have both- or a dog that drinks? Right now, the depressing part is the application process. God, it's worse than the LSAT!
Stress has never really bothered me, that much. Check my pulse, it don't change! Stays 72, come shine or rain. But that blog bothers me- good God, the more I read about law school, the less I want to go to one that's actually competitive. It's funny, though, and I need more of that. Bookmarked!
Thanks for the advice- if you get anymore, tell me for the love of God!
