Yes, it’s still only Wednesday, and that means we’re only half way through the week. But if you’re a glass-half-full kind of person like the little guy pictured above, that means we’re now half way through the week, and the weekend is in sight!
This cute little pic was taken by a Japanese tourist during a recent visit to an aquarium abroad. Snapped at the precise moment this little seal smooshed his face up against the glass – making him look like a giant rustic sausage with an expression etched into one end – the photo is currently going viral online in Japan.
A few comments from Twitter users:
His neck’s disappearing!
What an awesome cheery face.
I wonder what he was thinking about just before he bumped into the glass LOL
Haha, this is fake, right!?
It looks like Zuruel from Evangelion.
Hmm, that last one might be a bit of a stretch…
So if you’re having a rough week so far, save this photo and stick it somewhere on your desktop to remind yourself that life’s not all bad, and that hump day, as ominous as it may appear, exists for a reason – to give us something to slide down the back of and reach the weekend quicker.
Ganbatte, everyone!
