Your model needs some explicit multipliers or spaces.
{am, bm, cm} = {
1 + RandomReal[],
2 + RandomReal[],
8 + RandomReal[]}
{1.48798,2.46428,8.91346}
data = Table[{k, Log[am*k^2 + bm*k + cm + RandomReal[]]}, {k, 35}];
nlm = NonlinearModelFit[data, Log[a*k^2 + b*k + c], {a, b, c}, k];
nlm // Normal
Log[1.4834808148709797*k^2 +
2.5953464393454073*k +
8.874882556234564]
