Persuing Investment Banking, Rising senior, sudying abroad in spring, no internship currently. Is there hope?

Hey so I'm a rising senior at a target school (little ivy) with a 3.5 Econ major. I worked for a large tech firm my freshman year and a very boutique wealth management firm last summer. I have been unable to land an IB internship for the summer so far. I'm home for a month (January) then I am in Europe for the entire spring semester due to a study abroad program. Has anyone been in this situation before and has it worked out? I am beginning to feel very stressed. I can't imagine id be able to enjoy my semester abroad knowing I've completely failed at landing a summer internship/ knowing I'll now be limited in my career. I can't back out of my abroad program now because the fee has been paid. Just looking for any advice I think my problem is that I did not do my due diligence of networking beyond the top BB firms. I am networking best I can now but I'm not sure how much it will help. I have had some first rounds but nothing resulted from them yet.
