PE Internship

Good evening Chimps,

I am once again asking for your help. I was extremely lucky to have gotten an internship at a PE firm in Chicago that was essentially served to me on a silver platter. 

My dilemma is that I haven't even taken a finance class in college yet, and my resume is extremely thin for a PE internship.

What tips/advice/knowledge should I know so that I do not look like a dumbass on my first day? Are there things I should not do? Attire I shouldn't wear? 

Anything and everything is appreciated.
