Kelley Puckett
BY HALI BAKER
Studying pharmacy is a challenging route to choose as an undergraduate, but add a husband and two children to that and life becomes even more demanding. Kelley Puckett, a 27-year old Kirkland, Wash., junior.
lives a life that many students would find impossible to manage.
Each morning her husband, Sean,
loads their two sons, Tristan, 4,
and Deklan, 2, in the family's only car
and takes them to daycare and
drives to work.
Puckett catches the bus and rides
to the University of Kansas. She said she spread her schedule out from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. so she can do homework and study in between classes.
"I can't go home and just start doing homework". Puckett said.
As soon as she finishes on campus, Puckett changes from dedicated student to hardworking mom. She cooks supper and gets the boys ready for bed. It's about 8 p.m., before she can begin her homework. Puckett said she tried to go to sleep around 10 or 11 p.m.
"The hardest part is feeling like I'm putting enough time into everything," she said. "I there's not enough time in the day to get it all done."
Puckett has always encountered difficulty finding a place to fit in at college. She said she was younger than most of her classmates at her
last school. Now, her role is reversed; Puckett is older than the majority of the student body.
In an effort to get involved on campus, Puckett participates in the Non-Traditional Student Foundation. The group helps her network with other non-traditional students so she can feel included among an overwhelmingly younger population.
Although she didn't picture herself as a college student at age 27, Puckett has no complaints.
"You deal with what you go," she said. "I'm thankful for everything 1 get to do."

odd news
Misfired bullet hits neighbor on toilet
CASPER, Wyo. — A man accidentally discharged a new pistol he was unfamiliar with, firing a bullet that nicked his arm and eventually struck a man using the bathroom in another building, police said.
However, since the bullet traveled through two walls, across a courtyard and ricocheted off a shower wall, it left only a small brusque on the chest of the man it hit, and he did not require treatment, police said.
The incident occurred about noon Sunday.
"it's one of those freak happenings," police Sgt. Mark Trimble said Monday.
Trimble said Erick Hovermale of Casper was cited for misdemeanor discharging a firearm in city limits.
