Best way to Prep to be good HF intern.

Working at a value oriented HF this summer(cap structure neutral/opportunistic). What should I be doing right now to train? I am good on the research stuff but I really suck at modeling. Takes weeks to build a model and always at the end unbalances somehow lol. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I want to do well and hopefully stay in touch with these people.
