FEBRUARY 21st, 2015: Even though I am posting this on Sunday the 22nd, the pictures up above were taken on the 21st. I went with my stepsister and some of her friends to the Lincoln Way West "Twerp" dance.
It was a blast. I know NOBODY at that school, and within the first 2 minutes of the dance, I was in the middle of the giant circle dancing. It was a lot of fun. I overheard dozens of people ask their friends "....Who IS that guy?" Job well done on my part for that. Well, this brings us to photo #25, and to the end of this project. Mr. Moore, I had a fantastic time capturing the pictures for this project, and I am glad the memories can now be archived. I definitely wanted to end out with a bang. Thank You. (Day #25)

FEBRUARY 20th, 2015: Even though this was the final day of this project, I will probably extend my own blog to tomorrow night, since I will be going to an event that may be worthy of photographs. I would rather end this project out on that rather than this.
Today, Shupryt & I worked together cleaning out the closet in the back of our tech. classroom, trying to find a hard drive cleaner. You'd be surprised what you might find back there! (Day #24)

FEBRUARY 19th, 2015: Today was yet ANOTHER snow day, due to the frigid temperatures outside. Most of my day was spent relaxing, looking up movies to put on my wish list.
At night, I watched the finale to "Two and a Half Men." I was shocked to see celebrity cameos, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Christian Slater, and John Stamos. (Day #23)

FEBRUARY 18th, 2015: Today was a half-day at school, so it was overall a really calm, relaxing day. Can't really do much with 30 minute classes! However, in English, I learned that I can get to read a book and do a project centered around the 1980's, which I am BEYOND excited for, since the '80s are my ultimate forte.
Speaking of which, when I got home, I found an awesome blogger website that has hundreds upon hundreds of underrated and totally unknown 80s rock "AOR" songs. I downloaded three that I am absolutely in love with. "We've Got Secrets" by Avion (1987), "Secrets in the Dark" by TĂș (1989), and "Out of the Darkness" by Tony Sciuto (1991). It is a great, underrated selection of '80s music. (Day #22)

FEBRUARY 17th, 2015: Today, I got to see the result of a funny prank. Awhile ago at the mall, at one of the kiasks, I had some fun and filled out my friend Nick's name on the form, with my cousin Jason's address, unknowing to them. Today, Jason brought in a letter that was shipped to his house for Nick.
The letter stated that Nick is winning either $49,000, a Mercedes, a BMW, a Porsche, or a 5-day "Island Adventure." Is it spam or is it not? We shall never know! (Day #21)

FEBRUARY 16th, 2015: Today was a relatively slow/calm day.
In A+ Computer Repair, we put the scoreboard work on halt so we could learn about monitors and their anatomy.
Also at night, watching one of my favorite shows, "The Celebrity Apprentice," I was happy to see that Leeza Gibbons won the event over her egotistical, arrogant counterpart Geraldo Rivera. (Day #20)

FEBRUARY 14th, 2015: Happy Valentine's Day! Even though it is a holiday I do not support whatsoever. All it is is a scheme for the candy companies to sell more chocolates.
Anyway, it was freezing out, and the heater in my room had broken, so I got this pretty nifty fireplace heater that works great, and adds great ambiance to the room. (Day #18)

FEBRUARY 13th, 2015: Oh no, Friday the 13th! Today, we watched Mr Fabes in Household Repair make one of his trademark sand sculptures. Unfortunately, the taboo elements of Friday the 13th occurred, when Fabes accidentally dropped it at the end, and our shed was ALMOST crushed by a falling wall on the welding booth. Thankfully, no sheds were harmed, but sand castles were. In A+ Computer Repair, we are continuing our work with the broken scoreboard.
At night, Nick & I went out to just hang out around the town. We had alot of fun! (Day #17)

FEBRUARY 12th, 2015: Today, we had the day off of school because of Lincoln's Birthday.
This summer, I am travelling to Costa Rica with Mr. Rucinski and 20 other students from Tinley Park High School. (Including my closest friends). Today in the mail, I finally received my passport. I am now all set to leave the country in the summer! (Day #16)

FEBRUARY 10th, 2015: Continuing off of the events of yesterday, today's pictures focus exclusively on my A+ Computer Repair class. Firstly, Mike Miller and I continued our efforts in fixing Mr. Reiser's scoreboard. We took out the control board, and as soon as we found no connection or wiring problems, we came to the conclusion the motherboard was shot, and we really could not fix it. We will recycle the parts for that class.
Then, Nick Shupryt, Mike LaBudda, Josh Urbanski, and I worked on a laptop that was given to the class. The only problem there was that the power supply was bad, and the laptop only works when plugged into the wall. However, we think Nick messed it up by trying to troubleshoot past the password screen. We were not sure what he did, but the word "KILL" came on the screen. (Day #14)

FEBRUARY 9th, 2015: Today in my 3rd hour Household Repair class, my group (Myself, Nick Shupryt, Nick Roser, Jeremy Morgan, & Anthony Defries) continued building our mini-shed. We have the base, and have now framed all four walls. Next, we will be starting on the roof.
In A+ Computer Repair, something different. Mr. Reiser's scoreboard for the basketball games was broken, so I offered to take it in and attempt to fix it there in class. So we brought it into class, where myself, Mr. Mentgen, Nick Shupryt, and Mike LaBudda attempted to repair it. So far, we have had no success, but we will be trying more with the motherboard tomorrow. (Day #13)

FEBRUARY 8th, 2015: Today when I got home from my dads house, I found out this autograph came in the mail for me.
It is a singer named Lian Ross. I am not too familiar with her body of work. She did one song in the 80s called "Fantasy" I really liked and thought was catchy, so I sent away for an autograph from her website, since I have a huge autograph collection that continues to grow. (Day #12)

FEBRUARY 6th, 2015: Today was a very fun, relaxing Friday. In math class, I had to admire my friend Joe's hair. He shaved his head since he is on the swim team, and he shaved it in the form of an arrow.
Also, at drama after school, we watched the 2013 film "The Great Gatsby" to get in the mood for the play. I am not a fan of the book or this movie, but ah well, what can you do? (Day #10)

FEBRUARY 5th, 2015: Sixth period, I am a senior leader for a gym class. Basically, I act as a teachers assistant/student aide to help guide the students through the class activities.
Sean & Jon, two goofy boys I lead in the class, decided to have a three-legged walk using one pair of gym shorts. The end result was very funny! (Day #9)
FEBRUARY 4th, 2015: Today's pictures are from my 8th hour "A+ Computer Repair" class. Pictured is my partner Nick beginning to label and dissemble the hard drive.
We are currently learning all about hard drives, how to take apart, assemble, and program them, ect. I myself really love the class. It is all in preparation for us to take the "A+ Certification" test, which allows us to become licensed computer repair workers. (Day #8)

FEBRUARY 1st, 2015: Relaxing after the craziness of last nights dance, today was the first day of a new month, and Superbowl Sunday! In the morning, I stayed in, relaxed, and watched a 1999 action movie called "Chill Factor." There is supposed to be a blizzard/big winter storm coming through. School tomorrow?
Also, in the kitchen, my mom was digging some things out of the cabinet, and accidentally knocked something into the microwave. Shattering and breaking it. (Day #5)

JANUARY 31st, 2015: Tonight was the TPHS Turnabout Dance. I myself go to all the dances, because I want to live my high school career to the fullest. I am a HUGE aficionado of the 1980s culture, so I loved how the theme of the dance was an 80s/90s throwback. They played 80s classics such as "Jessie's Girl", "Come on Eileen", and "Hungry Like the Wolf," among others.
The night was so much fun, I met some great people from other schools that came, and I had a blast. My last turnabout was definitely the best dance of them all. To all of those who did not go, they missed out! (Day #4)

JANUARY 30th, 2015: Continuing off of what occurred yesterday, today in my TV Pro class at Bremen High School, we filmed our entertainment show, "Krazy Ken's Kooky Karnival."
I got field trip forms for two of my friends to come in. It was a riot. It all involved a lot of whipped cream, toilet paper, golf balls, a giant hammer, and a shoe commercial. (Day #3)

JANUARY 29th, 2015: In my TV Production class in the morning at Bremen High School, we filmed our first of two shows. Today, we filmed the show "Millennial Monthly" (in which I am an anchor for).
Tomorrow, we film our entertainment show. I am hosting it, and it will be called "Krazy Ken's Kooky Karnival." (Day #2)
